Creating a whole world out of recycled materials – Dollhouse

From Sophie’s school:

On the first day back from our school break, one of the Green Roomers remarked during meeting, “We could make a dollhouse!” and the response from everyone was so enthusiastic that we began working to make one the very next day. The children were able to come up with quite an extensive list of things that they wished to make for the house including a swimming pool, staircases and musical instruments. Everyone who wanted to create something for the house made a plan and we helped them figure out what materials they would need to make their ideas a reality. In keeping with our “green” goals in the Green Room, we are using recycled and reused materials – cardboard boxes from our snack, cardboard tubes, bottle caps from our lunches, samples of tiles, fabric scraps and wood pieces. The house is really coming to life.
