All parents know the importance of role-playing games for the development of the baby. The child shows the first interest in them at the age of about two and a half or three years. Well, then the baby’s love for such games only increases, which means that appropriate accessories are needed: designers, puppet theaters, playhouses and much more. The choice is huge, and it's easy to get confused. Boys, as a rule, choose models of garages with cars or fire stations, but girls, even at a young age, follow fashion trends and often ask their parents to buy them houses for Barbie dolls. Of course, they are suitable not only for them, but for anyone whose height does not exceed thirty centimeters (Winx, Bratz and so on).

Houses for Barbie - a tribute to fashion or a useful toy?

At first, the baby is content only with those toys that caring parents or other relatives buy for him. But the child grows and begins to look at what their peers have. At first, this is expressed in a request to buy everything that he sees from other children. But as he grows older, he begins to learn to choose. This decision is strongly influenced by theadvertising and bright reviews of other children. Needless to say, this is typical for adults as well.

So if the little girl is already in kindergarten, sooner or later her parents are likely to be asked to go to the store and see Barbie houses. Indeed, all the little fashionistas only talk about these dolls, their clothes and other accessories.

On the other hand, the desire to get a house for a doll is explained not only by this. This game element is of great interest from the point of view of children's pedagogy. Firstly, these are new opportunities for the already mentioned role-playing games that develop fantasy. Secondly, these are the first skills of maintaining order, creating a homely cozy interior. Therefore, Barbie houses can confidently be called useful toys that will be a great gift for a birthday or New Year.

Toy cottages and castles to choose from

Of course, the models of houses are produced not only by the well-known company Mattel - the manufacturer of Barbie dolls, but also by many others. As a result - a huge selection of colors, sizes and functions. It can be a modest one-story house with a standard set of furniture, a mansion with a swimming pool, or a princess castle with several floors. As a rule, the packaging indicates which standard dolls this play layout is suitable for.

Prices for Barbie houses also vary significantly. There are inexpensive options for domestic production, which will cost a couple of thousand rubles, while the upper price bar is at the turn of about thirty thousand.

The cost depends on the size of the house, its fullness and the materials used in the manufacture. So, some of the details of some layouts are made of cardboard, which makes it cheaper, but the service life can be significantly reduced. The high quality plastic option will cost more but last longer.

Do-it-yourself houses for Barbie

Another option to get a cozy home for your favorite doll is to make it yourself, of course, with the help of your parents. It will take some time, but the daughter will participate in the process herself, and the house will definitely become one of her favorite toys.

Yes, and there are no restrictions here: any interior, colors and sizes. And as a basis, you can take thick cardboard or plywood. Parents will have to work hard, but warm memories of the time spent together in an interesting activity will remain with their daughter for life.
