Why spend money on a dolls house when you can create your own from your recycling!


Material

  • 1 Cardboard box
  • 1 Scissors
  • 1 Stickytape
  • 2 Toilet rolls
  • Various Tissue papers
  • Various Permanent markers and pencils
  • 2 Small balls of wool for fairy hair

Method

  1. Dismantle a wine box and fashion into the shape of a dolls house using tape and scissors.
  2. Cut in details like windows and a door..
  3. Decorate the house. I used wrapping paper to line the internal walls and sgarpies and pencils to decorate the outside. Let the kids decorate!
  4. Create fairies by adding facial features, sticky tape wool for hair and cut and tape on tissue paper wings and dresses.
  5. Have fun playing with it all! Create a whole village and more fairies to keep the fun going.

  • Love this! My 5 year old always wants to craft and I am going to show her this as apart from me having to cut the door and window she should be able to do the rest herself….so will be pleased and feel acomplished.

  • Fun to make, even get the kids to help, fun to play with but not as good as a wooden one or a bought one. Sorry

  • Children always love being able to help make something and this doll’s house will incorporate their own ideas so will be more loved by them and be more beneficial as well.

  • I love this idea! It’s so simply, yet I can imagine Miss 5 delighting in creating it.

  • I can remember doing this with my eldest granddaughter & her sheer delight in spending hours playing with it. Give a child a cardboard box & watch how creative they can be. Priceless!

  • Haha very clever. Kids always love the box over what’s inside it so a great use of the box.
