A dollhouse is an opportunity for hours of open ended imaginative play and in this camp we'll design our own! Maybe you'd like a castle, a tree house, a skyscraper, or a cozy cabin. Does it have an elevator, a pool, a secret tunnel, or something else extra special? We'll use cardboard boxes, paint, tape, assorted recycled materials and our imaginations to construct our own dream houses. We'll draw a blueprint and make mini accessories. The possibilities are endless!
