Is this dollhouse too minimal for a 9 year old?

I think it is. I bought it for my 2 year old and it is perfect but at 9, she would probably enjoy a really dollhouse. This house is well made and very cute. I love that it folds up with everything tucked inside. Very easy to clean up and keep the pieces together.

I'm sure you love your little grand daughter very much and I only say that the size and small parts and such is more suited for a young girl a couple of years older. Also I ordered this for my great grand daughter and was very disappointed to find parts missing. I think some of the Fisher Price toys do have doll houses that would be more in her age range. hope I helped and just think how much more she will love the bigger house once she is a little older. Good luck and God bless.

No, this dollhouse is not already assembled. All of the pieces are plainly labeled, and Grandpa and I put it together in about a half an hour. It was fun, but it does take a little time. When assembling it, we could see how well made all of the pieces are. My granddaughters have really enjoy their house!

It is a great doll house. But for a two year old, I'd be cautious. Most parts are large enough, but there may be a few that could be swallowed. You could probably just take those out, since I don't recall there being very many

Kathy, I sent this to my granddaughter in another state .. my sil put it together and my daughter said it took him 4 hours .. I think it was worth it tho because Chloe loves this doll house which is taller than she is.

hi there! I think the Plan Toy furnishings would be much too small for a Barbie house. We now have a Kidkraft dollhouse (love it too) that fits Barbie dolls and the furniture is definitely larger.

She loves the house. It's sturdy and Barbie dolls fit perfect. She like to decorate it, like added carpet and other little things. She's never said anything about the design of the structure,so I'm going to say it did not matter to her.

Yes, too small. My four-year old loves this, but needs help putting things together.

My daughter is 7 and uses it. I think it would be ok for 9 too. It's short compared to a tall beam but you can do a cartwheel etc on it

I can definitely see why people would say that. Yes, if using the calico critter homes, fitting all the furniture in can be a tight squeeze. My daughters, when I asked them about fitting all the furniture into the calico critters homes, promptly said "yes" that the homes are a little small. However, it doesn't stop them from playing with them. They love both the dollhouse and the calico critter homes.

No, the furniture is a bit too small to fit properly. Melissa and Doug make a family that coordinates with their furniture and doll house.

My grand daughter has the dollhouse similar to the majestic; perhaps a bit smaller. She plays with these dolls in it.

Certainly the projects are appropriate for that age. My oldest is 3 1/2 but he is almost four feet tall. He just carried the whole workshop out of his bedroom and into the hall, lol. It is small, but he loves it. My friend's four year old girl loved playing with the tools too! I think it'll be fine.

If possible, I would buy more than 30 pieces. Get the largest set you can, because the joy will be more long-lasting. If he is playing them with a friend, that would only be 15 pieces each, and it is hard to build something with just 15 pieces. However, if you can only afford 30 pieces, he would enjoy it tremendously. I can pretty well guarantee that if you buy the 30 set, you will be back to buy a larger set to add to it. This is the most fun toy ever created, seriously. The pieces click together with magnets, and lend themselves to a wide variety of shapes. You will probably end up playing with them as much or more than your 9 year old. God bless. Marian Liveley

I'm not sure, it is very small, we will be looking for dolls to fit. Understand as others have said it's really more of a puzzle, the furniture is very cute, but also very basic.

Hi! Maybe there is from other brand. Plan toys have something similar called My First Dollhouse and it seems smaller than Ryan's Room.
