Recently, Kate and I were given the opportunity to review the “Caring Sharing Home” dollhouse from Caring Corners.

Kate’s generally not too into toys, but she LOVES this dollhouse. Seriously, it’s amazing how much time she’s spent playing with it. Quietly. By herself. A LOT.

It’s a great toy, and was recognized as a “2008 Outstanding Product Winner” from iParenting Media and it’s the first
dollhouse that comes to life to encourage caring and sharing through play. It’s interactive and Kate is constantly discovering more and more things the dollhouse does.

My favorite part (besides the playing quietly alone thing) is that it is designed to teach caring and empathy, and it comes with stickers that parents can give their kids when the kids do something nice for someone else. We are big fans of the sticker chart theory at our house, and this is even more exciting to Kate because she can put the stickers on her dollhouse.

You can read all about what it does and how it was developed here, but if you want to see it in action, Kate is happy to give you a tour!

Stay tuned, because the nice people at Caring Corners not only gave us a dollhouse to review, but also one to give to someone who could use it. I haven’t exactly figured out what we’re going to do with it or who we’re going to give it to, but I am thrilled to have this opportunity to let Kate experience the joy and importance of giving.

What better way to start out the Christmas season?
