Shutters swing open, a doll steps inside, and the story begins.

🏠 Room to roam: five rooms for dolls to cook, sleep and host visitors in
🪟 Hands-on detail: 10 windows with opening and closing shutters on the front and side panels
🌸 Soft look: dusky pink plywood front with floral motifs that suits most bedrooms and playrooms
📐 Right size: stands 74 cm tall and 37 cm deep, so it fits on the floor or a sturdy low shelf
🔇 Quiet play: no batteries, no sound, just small hands arranging and re-arranging
🧩 Open-ended: dolls and furniture sold separately, so the house grows with their collection

The Educator's Note

The ten opening shutters give children a repeated pinch-and-swing movement that builds finger and wrist control, so the house trains fine motor skills as part of the story rather than as an exercise.
Five distinct rooms support sequenced pretend play (breakfast, bedtime, visitors), which is the narrative thinking that underpins early storytelling and recount at school.
It is sold unfurnished, so a 3-year-old sets up simple routines while a 6-year-old plans whole scenes in the same house. That is genuine developmental range from one purchase, and furniture can be added over time.

Swing the shutters open, peek inside and set up a room. This five-room dolls house gives children a ready-made home for stories, with 10 windows to open and close. It plays quietly and needs no batteries. Made for children aged 3 and up, it suits the stage when pretend play becomes storytelling: dolls cook dinner, go to bed and have visitors. Add furniture and figures as their collection grows.

Also available in a great value bundle

Best for children who already tell stories with their dolls and are ready for a home big enough to act them out.

A 3 to 4 year old moving from simple pretend play into household routines like cooking, bathtime and bedtime
A 5 to 6 year old who plans scenes, arranges rooms with care and likes playing out family stories with friends or siblings
Families wanting a first dolls house that will still be played with at school age, rather than outgrown in a year
Parents or grandparents building a collection over time, adding furniture and dolls room by room at birthdays and Christmas

Opening the shutters is half the fun

Most children go straight to the windows. Each of the 10 windows has shutters that open and close, and the repeated pinch, push and swing builds the wrist control and finger strength they use later for buttons, zips and holding a pencil. Then comes the real play: choosing which room a doll lives in and what happens there.

Five rooms, one story at a time

Around age 3, children move from moving dolls about to giving them a day to live. Breakfast in one room, a nap in another, a visitor at the front door. Five separate rooms make that sequencing easy to act out, and they build the narrative thinking and vocabulary that sit behind early reading and storytelling at school. The house is unfurnished, which is the point. Children decide what each room is for, and they change their minds often. It stays interesting from a first dolls house at 3 through to detailed, planned scenes at 6.

Size and setup

The Alouette House measures approximately 68.6 cm wide x 37 cm deep x 74.2 cm high and weighs about 10.3 kg. That is a substantial, stable house, so choose its spot before assembly. A bedroom corner, a playroom wall or the floor beside a bookcase all work. It needs assembly (an adult job, so set aside some quiet time), and it is for indoor use only. The plywood front is finished in dusky pink with floral motifs. Care is simple: wipe with a damp cloth and keep it out of direct sun and away from heaters. Dolls and furniture are sold separately.
