Recycled: Doll House Renovations

I'm not sure if this is a technically a "recycle" but thought I'd call it that anyway!

Recycled: A doll house
Into: A doll house with doors and window shutters!
The kids' Grandma gave them this doll house for Christmas. After watching the kids play with their cousin's dollhouse that has an opening and closing door (that was opened and closed many, many times!), we decided to do some renovations on this one.


We added shutters to three of the windows and changed one of the windows into a door. We replaced the back of the house with thicker plywood and created another door. And we cut a hole in the middle part of both sides, creating a walkway in between.

A ridiculous collection of toilet rolls led to some animal craftiness. I drew and cut, the kids decorated.
