Doll's House

Mar 30, 2006 12 Replies

Purchased a doll's house from Toy;s R Us a couple of weeks ago for the 3.5 year old barnacle.. Some of you might know which one I'm talking about. Its the one where if perhaps you were trying to sell it to some 4" tall people, you'd have to explain to them that the only way to get into the kitchen is by stepping out of the front door and climbing in through the kitchen window. The same would apply if they wanted to visit the bathroom with the addition of a ladder.



Anyway. What type of paint should be used to colour the house and the various bits of furnitures?

It depends what the house and the furniture are made from to some extent. If plastic it'll be quite a limited range of paint, if wood or fibreboard, pretty much any type of minimally toxic paint will do. Whichever it is, consider safety carefully, those doll's house ladders can be tricky. :-)

Thats against the BCO.

Non toxic, available at art or hobby shops.

Pink.

The BCO has to be bought seperately, along with Bob the Builder, to rectify faults and Sue the Lawyer to take action against Dodgy Dave the Developer. Then there is the whole new set, starting with Constantina the Contaminated Land Register Surveyor.

Maybe it's a Harry Potter doll's house and they've got broomsticks instead of stairs.

With purple. And some silver glitter.

Oh yes, forgot. Too old these days ... :-(

Mary

Does Harry Potter play with dolls?

You forgot Peter the Part P lecky.

Dave

And Charles, the Chap from the Gas Board.

It's getting a bit crowded, perhaps it should be a block of flats ... with proper planning permission of course.

Hermoine Granger springs to mind :)
