As a grandfather with five grandchildren, my imagination runs wild when I think of the various stages in a child\u2019s life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is a time when they learn to walk, run, ride, swim, talk and so much more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My vision for our grandchildren as they get older is that they should have the opportunity to play with educational toys, science sets, experiments and adventure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great building block for a young child like our three-year-old granddaughter, which stretches the imagination and helps them develop their character and confidence, is role play.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I discovered a really gorgeous website full of wooden toys by Petite Am<\/a>\u00e9lie<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Having created and built toys for my other grandchildren, when I discovered this stunning dolls house kit by Petite Am\u00e9lie<\/a>, it was hard to say no when deciding to buy it for her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This wooden dolls house has a real modern twist about it, open plan and comes with 19 pieces of furniture too. Decorated panels slide into the structure giving each room a modern decorated appearance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I remember the traditional looking ones that closed up at the front, but this was different. It’s open plan, open fronted, spacious and very inviting to a youngster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s well built from wood, well proportioned in size and comes in a self assembly kit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Its cool white, grey and black tones combined with natural wood give it a great look wherever you place it in your home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Assembly was straightforward with every part numbered, and it just required a screwdriver. Don’t over tighten the screws as this is softwood and you might strip the threads easily.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once assembled we introduced our granddaughter to it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sadly she was more interested in the dolls house than in Poppa!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you fancy a large wooden dolls house<\/a> then look no further than these guys, you’ll not be disappointed and neither will the recipient of such a beautiful gift.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
