There are certainly more simple options to make daughter a house for a doll:
- Buy ready-made. But they cost exorbitant money. Wherein plastic parts turn out to be fragile, they do not attach well to each other, the house is constantly falling apart.
- Organize your home in a closet, nightstand, or bookcase. Probably, parents in their distant childhood did it themselves. The option is good because, firstly, there is no need to spend extra money, and secondly, the child will learn to use substitute objects in the game. The downside is that sooner or later the daughter will say that the house is not real, she will want to have something more believable, with wallpaper, windows, etc.
Then mom and dad will have to decide how to make this toy themselves. First of all, decide on the size. If the house is intended for a doll like Barbie or Monster High, it will turn out to be oversized. The height of each room will be at least 30 cm, width so that you can put a doll bed in the house, 40 cm or more. For dolls and toys - figures, you can make a more compact "housing".
DIY plywood house for Barbie.
IMPORTANT: In practice, the doll house takes place as a complete piece of furniture. Having decided to make one, you need to think about where he will stand in the room.
The next step is the choice of materials. Typically, dollhouses are made from:
- Cardboard boxes and cartons. The budget option, you do not need to spend a lot on the purchase of materials. Also, you do not need to think about with what fasteners to assemble the house, you will only need any glue and duct tape... The big minus of the house is that it is fragile, hygroscopic, and gets dirty easily. You can't put heavy furniture on thin shelves.

Another drawback of this material is that it is not easy to connect thin sheets of plywood together so that they hold tightly, the house does not fall apart.
- Wood, MDF. The most practical and expensive option. The house will turn out to be of a very high quality and durable, stable and safe. It will not fall apart, even if the child hangs on it with all its weight. MDF is easy to process, the structural elements are firmly connected to each other with self-tapping screws, and their caps can be drowned in the thickness of the material. MDF gives absolute freedom to ideas for decorating a house.
IMPORTANT: It must be remembered that a child will play with the house, and, most likely, this dimensional toy will stand in the children's room. Materials for it must be hygienic, environmentally friendly, hypoallergenic, non-toxic. If, after priming or painting, the house exudes a smell, you need to let it weather.
Although the house is intended for children from 3 years old, that is, the age at which the director's game has already been formed, you need to pay attention to the presence in it small parts that you can choke on.

Step-by-step master class: how to make a cardboard house for a cat
If you have a tailed mustachioed animal at home, you know how cats love to hide - they jump into a carriage, climb into boxes or on a rack. You can make a house out of the box and your pet will have a personal apartment for which no one will apply.
Cardboard box for cats - original and interesting idea, but, alas, such a house will quickly deteriorate. Cardboard is afraid of water and therefore cannot be washed. If your pet confuses a house with a litter box, the cat's apartment will have to be thrown away.
In addition, cats love to sharpen their claws, and this will also harm the house.
Despite the disadvantages, this option is the cheapest and fastest to implement.
Building a cat house:
- You need to choose a box in which your cat will not be cramped. Cats love space and love the view, so you shouldn't put the box in the farthest corner of the room.
- Place a rug or pillow on the floor.
- You can paste over the outside of the house with old wallpaper so that the cat's dwelling does not violate the interior of the "human" room.
When the house is ready, invite the cat to examine it. Let him get used to the new thing, study it. You do not need to force the cat to climb inside right away, this can only scare him away.
