Who makes a better dollhouse and accessories; playskool, fisher price or mattel? Will they work together?
My 4 year old daughter is ready for her first dollhouse. She saw one at a yard sale with all the furniture for $35. At the time I thought that was crazy, but I have since discovered what a mistake I made passing up hundreds of dollars worth of savings!!!
I have been shopping around and like the fisher price dollhouse the best, but the furniture sets can become expensive. Searching on ebay I have found used and new sets for barbie, playskool and fisher price, but are they compatible? Will the difference really show? If I can find them new, which are the better value? Any opinions or experience would be helpful! I want this to be a great Christmas!
I really like playskool–their houses have soo much detail.
Depending on which one you saw–it may have been well worth the 35.00
The older ones–are sturdy and fun.
As for them working together–I think your daughter wouldnt care if the furniture she has wasnt specifically for that dollhouse–as long as it all fits in.
You could always look on ebay for accessories and furn.
This is my fave one of playskool-I cant wait until my daughter gets a little older so she can have her first dollhouse.
this one is pricey on there–but is the only one listed at the moment.

I did see the fisher price my first dollhouse–but it looks kinda…small.
The one I posted a link to-I used to have and made it into a ‘summer’ home for my strawberry shortcake dolls :p
(Im an adult collector, lol)
A lot of room in it–and there are always auctions listed for the furniture.
