KidKraft Chelsea Doll Cottage Review

There are several awesome KidKraft dollhouses to choose from. This option has many levels—three to be exact—and even windows that open and close. Also, the dollhouse comes with 17 pieces of furniture that will provide hours of fun and redecorating.

"The layout of the KidKraft Chelsea Doll Cottage is designed well for group play. Measuring 25 x 13 x 28 inches, the house is big, but not overwhelmingly so; and it has an open front for easy access to each room."—Charlene Petitjean-Barkulis, Product Tester

Hape All Season Dollhouse Review

The Hape wooden dollhouse has six rooms, moveable stairs, and even a solar paneled roof! The dollhouse can be bought with or without the furnishings for each room. What's really great is the openings on all sides of the house, which accommodate many children playing together.

"The Hape All Season Dollhouse is playful, modern, sleek, and gender-neutral—I wouldn’t mind flaunting it in my living room. Made of a natural wood frame, the house features three floors, six rooms, and a balcony. Each room is assigned an accent wall, which is a nice pop of color and a clever way to draw kids’ attention."—Charlene Petitjean-Barkulis, Product Tester
