Doll houses are popular among children. They are popular not only among girls but for a few boys as well. Because they are made mostly of pre-cut plywood they may be classified as wooden toys. Wooden toys are made to withstand years of use. Some are handed down through generations. This can happen only if they are given the kind of care that they deserve.
Doll houses usually have painted finish. We have to make sure that the paints used are non-toxic paints that are harmless to children. Doll houses should be kept indoors. The worst enemy of wood is water. If we want to make our dollhouses last for years, they should be kept away from water. Direct sun can also damage the material; it can dry out and be prone to cracking and splitting.
