DD2 just turned 2 a few months ago. She has been playing with a dollhouse for a while now, since before she was 2. She plays out little scenarios and the people go on trips to the park, etc. She also adds herself as a character at times. She will line up all the people and get in line with them and sing with them. It is quite entertaining. Right now she has the busy day home and that seems to be good enough for her now. I might get something a little bigger later on.
Mr W has been role playing with his toys since 9 mos, ie "racing" his cars around on the floor complete with sound effects.
He got a cave and jungle set at 1 year and liked to put the various figurines in poses on it from the very first day.
He really started role playing with his stuffed toys at 14 months complete with sound effects, ie wolf howling, cat meowing, etc. Lately he has tried to "feed" them and will sometimes talk to them and laugh at his own jokes.
I am not sure if that is what you are looking for.
DD does a lot of role play with her kitchen, dolls, soft animals and builds "homes" for smaller animals and cars. I was just wondering if at this age a real doll house would give something more than her self build "houses". Maybe we will get one and try it, I just don't want to get everything now so we would have some gift idea's for her later.
