Help Our Dollies Update Their Space!

Help me give my students furniture for their dollhouse because our wooden dollhouse has been sitting empty other than for the couple of things these ingenious kiddos have come up with to use as furniture! Help them spruce it up!

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

In our SEL and dramatic play areas, the dollhouse is a central focus of attention for my preschoolers. We have one family and some small dollar store furniture, but I'd like to give our dollhouse a refresh!

We keep the dollhouse pretty neutral so our students can dream up whatever they want it to be.

However, we like to spark interest to start provocative play and give students the ability to move things around to fit the story they are looking to create. Every home needs a refresh once in a while!
