4. Doll it Up with Darling Doll Houses

Every little girl loves a doll house and when they’re as pretty as this First Dream Doll House from Le Toy Van, complete with furniture,  you can be sure that she’ll love playing with it and inviting her friends over to visit as well.

A great way to encourage sharing, creative thinking and independent play. 

5. Tea Parties are Terrific

My little one loves hosting tea parties. All her toys, and us, are invited and she loves serving us little biscuits, snacks and “tea” as well. This Tiger Tribe Vintage Tin Tea Set will be perfect to bring out when evenings are chilly or the days are rainy and you don’t want to hear “I’m bored”. Pair it with some wooden biscuits, wooden toy cakes and more and you have everything you need for the perfect tea party.
