Melissa & Doug Take-Along Wooden Doorbell Dollhouse - Doorbell Sounds, Keys, 4 Poseable Wooden Dolls Portable Doll House, Doorbell House for Kids Ages 3+

Very cute, engaging toy! My 4 year old loves playing with this toy, taking the dolls in and out of the doors. Having the keys attached is a thoughtful touch so they don’t get misplaced. This toy encourages imaginative play and also helps with fine motor skills with turning the keys and requires number recognition to match the correct key to the door. Very sturdy. The only thing my kids didn’t like is the words describing the toy are printed on the actual roof of the house but they just covered it with stickers.

I bought this specifically for the purpose of storing our collection of Whittle People. We have about 30 of these wooden figures remaining (the dog chewed up a few before we got this to safely lock them up when not in use). Some Whittle People came with our Melissa & Doug Whittle World Plane and Luggage Carrier Set , Melissa & Doug School Bus Play Set , and Melissa & Doug Whittle World Train Platform Play Set . Plus, we have the Melissa & Doug Whittle World Accessory Bundle, Pack Of 3 , so there were lots of Whittle People looking for a place to live between adventures! Up to 10 of the adult size Whittle People fit in each compartment of this little house, so we have room for at least 10 more if we acquire more Whittle World people. This is the perfect storage container for the Whittle People: * It just makes sense for toy people to "live" in a toy house. * It is easy to retrieve all the people from the toybox at once as opposed to scavenging around for multiple small people. * It is easy for the real-live little ones to carry the house around from storage area to play area and back again. * Getting everyone safely "home" at the end of playtime becomes a game in itself. * It is a fun toy in its own right. * It is educational. My grandson and great-grandson are learning to identify the proper keys by their numbers and shapes, and they are developing their manual dexterity as they ring doorbells, unlock doors, and move their toy people in and out of the 4 "apartment" compartments. * It captures the interest of kids from ages 3 to 5 years. * It helps teach two house-keeping habits I want to pass on: 1) "A place for everything, and everything in its place" and 2) "Surfaces are for activities, not for storage". * The dog has been unable to figure out how to unlock this! Here is a helpful hint to encourage kids to explore the full potential of this toy and to preserve the sanity of adults in the vicinity. Give it to the children WITHOUT installing the battery at first. Otherwise they may become fixated on ringing the doorbells. Once they have thoroughly explored the silent features of this toy, you can install the batteries. Then the bells will add to the fun rather than being the primary function of the toy. I highly recommend the Melissa and Doug Wooden Doorbell House for children ages 3 to 5. It is sturdy. The designs on the four sides are appealing and have held up well despite being glued-on paper. It is fun. There are a lot of different ways to play with it. By encouraging the storage of the Whittle People inside of it, it keeps the playroom (which is also my living room) neater. I can't begin to tell you how much this has made my life easier. By the way, I was inspired to search for a house-shaped container for the Whittle People when I saw how willing my grandson and great-grandson were to put their Melissa & Doug Traffic Signs and Vehicles away in the VW Volkswagen T1 Camper Van Toiletry Wash Bag - Red - Multiple Color Options Available . This is a really great toy, but there are three things that would make it better: 1) A wooden chimney instead of the cheap-looking plastic one it has now. 2) Including four Whittle People figures instead of the play people that currently come with the Doorbell House. 3) A choice of ethnicity for the people. And the play people that came with this? I gave them away, still in their original packaging. They seemed more suitable for a traditional dollhouse than for this Doorbell House.

I bought the Melissa & Doug Take-Along Wooden Doorbell Dollhouse for my almost 3 year-old nephew, and it was well received. He’s been really into playing with wooden dollhouse people lately. I originally went looking just for the extra figures. However, I was pleasantly surprised to find this set instead, especially since it cost about the same but includes an interactive house too. The house has four sides, each with its own door, doorbell, and matching keys - which keeps him busy and curious. It’s very engaging and feels well made, just like you’d expect from Melissa & Doug. This is a great toy for kids around this age and makes a really nice, thoughtful gift.

Very high quality. We have bought three of these. Children love playing with these.

This Melissa & Doug wooden dollhouse has been a favorite in our home for over 4 years, and all of my kids still love it. The wooden quality is excellent and very durable - it’s held up incredibly well. Each door has a different color, number, and doorbell sound, and the numbered keys make it fun and educational. Kids learn number recognition, color matching, problem-solving, and fine motor skills while unlocking the doors and matching the dolls to the correct colors. It comes with 4 doors and keys- this is a fantastic educational toy, well-made, engaging, and great for toddlers and young kids. Highly recommend!

I recently purchased the Melissa & Doug Wooden Doorbell House for my child, and it has been a big hit! This toy is not only adorable but also highly interactive, making it a great choice for engaging playtime. The house comes with four colorful doors, each with its own doorbell sound and a lock-and-key set, which is a fantastic way to help kids develop their fine motor skills and hand-eye coordination. My child loves using the keys to unlock the doors, and the sound effects add an extra layer of fun. The figures included are sturdy and perfect for little hands, allowing for creative role-playing and storytelling. I also love that it’s made of wood, so it feels durable and can withstand plenty of playtime. One thing to note is that the compartments behind each door are a bit small, so it’s hard to store additional items inside, but it doesn’t take away from the fun. The only downside I’ve noticed is that the keys are a little tiny and can be tricky for younger kids to handle at first, but it’s something they quickly get the hang of. Overall, this is a great toy for encouraging imagination, problem-solving, and fine motor development. I highly recommend the Melissa & Doug Wooden Doorbell House if you’re looking for a fun, educational toy that will keep your child entertained for hours!
