Dollhouses for boys?
Has anyone ever built a dollhouse for a boy? Are the cabins more for
boys? How were they decorated? Cathy Weeks |
How about building a garage "dollhouse"? Lots of scale model cars and
race cars available in various sizes - could use something like that as a basis. Cathy Weeks wrote: Has anyone ever built a dollhouse for a boy? Are the cabins more for boys? How were they decorated? Cathy Weeks |

There are a number of nice farmhouse dh kits. Paired with a barn kit (HBS
used to carry one) or the stable set available at holiday time at Sam's and some Breyer horses or other scale farm animals & tractors, trucks, etc, a whole family of boys could play away many rainy afternoons. "Cathy Weeks" wrote in message Has anyone ever built a dollhouse for a boy? |

Another question - do boys actually like to play with dollhouses? My stepson, who is 9 loves playing with playmobile, which makes me think he'd like playing with a dollhouse, but if it's a "dollhouse" he probably wouldn't like it. Has anyone ever built one for a boy? i have built one for my son, for the same reasons, and all he did was play with his toy soldiers... so one day i reclaimed, clean(s)ed, repainted and refurnished it.... and that was my first dollshouse.. almost 30 yrs ago... :) -- vixx' |

Cabins are good, like a hunting/fishing retreat, a period log house, or you could go with a scale clubhouse, a cowboy's bunkhouse, a section of a ship, (any era) a castle, US Cavalry fort, Indian longhouse, submarine, police station, warehouse, DPW garage, motorcycle shop, hardware store, sporting goods store, a woodworking shop with miniature hand and power tools...is that a good start? -- Chuck *#:^) chaz3913(AT)yahoo(DOT)com Anti-spam sig: please remove "NO SPAM" from e-mail address to reply.

The most popular items are those for a gas station or garage, fishing, and hunting. You could also do roomboxes with "male" themes. I saw a terrific basketball locker room.

I couldn't keep my brothers out of mine. From what I've seen, most boys like playing with buildings. They can be used with trucks, or with action figures. As long as the appearance of the house isn't overly pink or ruffly, I think most boys would play with one during the action-toy imaginitive stage. Dawn |
