The Home-Made House Box
We all love to decorate our homes: painting walls; moving furniture; hanging pictures; and making it our own! But it’s mostly stuff for grown-ups… One of the only real opportunities for children to have a go at interior decoration is with a doll’s house, those beautiful miniature houses with their separate rooms, often displayed behind a door that opens and shuts. So, in this box we are going to build our very own doll’s house and then decorate it any way we want!
