How to Choose a Melissa and Doug Dollhouse
by Brenda Simard
A dollhouse is a great gift for young girls. Girls love to play house and play pretend. And to make their playtime more enjoyable, you should give them a Melissa and Doug dollhouse. They have different kinds of dollhouses such as a Victorian dollhouse, a regular dollhouse, castle, and even horse stables. Miniature horse stables are also great gifts for little boys. They also sell accessories and doll house furnishings separately.
If you are planning to buy a Melissa and Doug dollhouse, here are some tips that you should consider.
You should think about the size of the dollhouse. Do you want a big dollhouse with two storeys and several rooms? Or would you prefer a small doll house with a few rooms? You have to choose the best one for you. If you are planning to give it to a young girl a simple Melissa and Doug dollhouse will do. For older girls, they probably want something more life-like and more complex. You should also consider the place where you will putting the dollhouse. If it will be placed in a big room, then it is okay to have a big doll house but if it will be placed in a small room, then a smaller dollhouse is more appropriate space wise.
You should also consider the scale of the dollhouse. The most common scale is 1:12. This means 1 inch to 12 inches and is the ratio of the size of the dollhouse to the actual size. Some dollhouses have a scale of 1:6. Choose the one which you think will work best for you. The bigger the scale is, the easier it is to play with.
Another thing to take into consideration is the parts of the dollhouse. Are they movable and working? For example, can you open and close the doors and windows? Can you put something inside the closets and cabinets? What about the dolls or figures? Can you move their body parts? Movable and working parts make it more fun to play pretend using a dollhouse.
It is also important to check whether the furnishings and accessories are included or sold separately. Of course, it will be more expensive if the furnishings are included but at least you do not need to spend extra time shopping and choosing appropriate furnishings for the dollhouse. Furniture like beds, tables, chairs, cabinets, dressers, and couches are a must. But even if the furnishings are already included, you still have to buy other smaller accessories to complete the dollhouse set.
You should also decide whether you are going to buy a Melissa and Doug dollhouse as a toy or for display. Many adults collect dollhouses especially the kinds that have really complex designs and details. A Victorian dollhouse can be a nice toy for children and a great display. Melissa and Doug create wooden dollhouses which are longer lasting and more durable.
By knowing these things, you will be able to choose the perfect Melissa and Doug dollhouse for that special little girl in your life.

OK. My very first edited video. Just discovered that my computer has "Windows Movie Maker". Got all the clips from Google images and the music from my CD.
DUNNO MUCH ABOUT COPYRIGHTS, SO PLEASE INFORM ME BEFORE DELETING THIS VIDEO OR MY ACCOUNT!!! PLEASE.
I love Shel's work. His death was as devestating to me as Jim Henson's. He wrote children's stories. But he was an adult. He knew how to appeal to adults both by relating to them and reminding them of their childhood.
I read his stories as a child. I've read/heard other things as I got older. Shel was a jester who appealed to all ages.
His private life was just that; private. I respect that but... I wish he had lived in MY neighborhood.
