Doll House Fun

Royanne got her first doll house from her Mimi

for her first Christmas, when she was 5 1/2

months old. She used to lay on her stomach

and look in and at it. Now she really knows what

it is for. I placed it on the fireplace hearth

so she can see in it well, standing up to play

instead of having to be on her tummy, if the

doll house was on the floor.

When I was 5 or 6, Grandma made me a

5 story doll house, about 4 feet tall. I recently

got some of the 40 year old furniture from a bag

crammed in one of the rooms of that doll house.

I had to put cookie sheets in front of Ro's little

doll house because we needed more rooms. Too

much furniture!

(There's a cow on the couch and a pig in the

easy chair!)

A few days later I made "rugs" from foam sheets.

nother way to learn colors! She really likes to set

all the different dolls (and even animals)

around the tables, bringing in the living room

furniture also, for extra seating.

I made a special visiting family of pipe cleaners!
