s/o which dollhouse?

[sonrisa]

DD is getting a doll house from the new baby (She can act out her "let's just stick the baby in the closet" fantasies there).  

I love this Hape one. (I love the house and the furnishings. The bath has a little duck. The pets have houses, bowls and food. The drawers and cabinets all open.)

However, DD *loves* pink and purple. And it is her present. So should I get one of these instead?

I vote #1. I like the opening cupboards and such and I love the side access for more than 1 kid to play easily.

[tdk2]

You 2 could paint a room pink and purple. Lol. Or as pink and purple accessories to one room.

(That being said, I don't have a kid w a color preference yet so who knows what I'll vote when we get to that stage.)

1. I doubt she will open it on Christmas and even know you/Santa were ever considering others colours. I saw the Hape one in store the other day. I really like their products.

I've thought about that. Or adding Hape accessories to one of the pink houses.

I love that first one, too. I'm kind of struggling with the same thing as far as play kitchens go. I like a really pretty one but I think he'd like a different one better if he had the chance to compare. One bonus about the second one is that it looks big enough to fit a Barbie into.

[speckledfrog]

One bonus about the Hape house is that it's so open it will be easy for more than one child to play with it at a time.


ETA:  In short, I am no help.  I would probably get the Hape because it makes my heart happy to look at it.

[softspot]

The Hape hands down.

[janiejones]

Get the Hape one and buy her some purple socks.

#1

[isabel]

I love #1, but #4 is alright if you're going to go with one of the colorful ones.

[kirra]

I like the first one.

Isn't that the brand with the racist dolls everyone got upset about, though? Asian dolls? I think Emsumm's girls got them as a gift? Maybe?

ETA: never mind. That was plan toys.

I love the first one, but if I didn't go with that one, I'd choose four.

[CheshireGrin]

I really love the first one too. If you really wanted pink and purple instead, I would go with the last one, but I think any little girl would love being able to play with the first one.

[Deleted]

I love the third one. Judging based on what I, as a girl, would have liked.

FYI/ zulily has some dollhouses and accessories today.

This one looked similar to #1

Take a look at this Modern Living Dollhouse on zulily today!

We have #4, the Melissa and Doug one. It's huge, and super cute. Both of my kids love playing with it. Of your other choices I love the rose cottage design. It is exactly what a little girl dreams of in a doll house. The Hape one is cool and modern and different, but little girls like traditional doll house styles.

#4.

I like #1 best, but my dd has one similar to #4 and she has been playing with it for years. I love that there are actual rooms with walls and not wide open.

I like the Teamson one the best. 

I am thinking about this one:
