Default Doll's House

Purchased a doll's house from Toy;s R Us a couple of weeks ago for the 3.5
year old barnacle..
Some of you might know which one I'm talking about.
Its the one where if perhaps you were trying to sell it to
some 4" tall people, you'd have to explain to them that the only way to get
into
the kitchen is by stepping out of the front door and climbing in through the
kitchen window.
The same would apply if they wanted to visit the bathroom with the addition
of a ladder.

Anyway. What type of paint should be used to colour the house and the
various bits of furnitures?

Arthur.

It depends what the house and the furniture are made from to some
extent.
If plastic it'll be quite a limited range of paint, if wood or
fibreboard, pretty much any type of minimally toxic paint will do.
Whichever it is, consider safety carefully, those doll's house ladders
can be tricky. :-)

The BCO has to be bought seperately, along with Bob the Builder, to
rectify faults and Sue the Lawyer to take action against Dodgy Dave the
Developer.
Then there is the whole new set, starting with Constantina the
Contaminated Land Register Surveyor.

Maybe it's a Harry Potter doll's house and they've got broomsticks instead
of stairs.


Does Harry Potter play with dolls?

And Charles, the Chap from the Gas Board.

It's getting a bit crowded, perhaps it should be a block of flats ... with
proper planning permission of course.
