This second one is called Liliane Doll Villa by Liliane BV a Dutch company that makes a variety of children's toys. Liliane M.E.M. Limpens is the designer and director. In her website it describes how in women's shelters in Holland, children have been able to share their experiences and the emotions created by the situation of being in an abusive household through interactive play using the dollhouse. Liliane's desire is that when children play with the dollhouse it can instill feelings of what is possible, of security and of confidence. I got a bit teary eyed when I was reading through some of the stuff in the website and it made me realize that dollhouses are not just toys and can be great ways to interact with your child and get to know them on another level.
This is the Green Dollhouse which is sold through ABC Home. The name of the house is well suited to it as it is intended to instill children with knowledge about sources of green power like the wind turbine at the top and solar panels on the roof. It also has shading structures and recycling bins. All in all a fun way to teach kids about saving resources. Check out the ABC Home Website for more information on it.
