Back in the earlier days of Toy Box Philosopher, I had a project series with a few multi-part articles documenting my efforts with a doll-related art project. I think there were only two installments, The Saskia Project and The My Twinn Project. The My Twinn Project, in which I tried my hand at restoring and repainting My Twinn dolls, blossomed into an obsession that lasted for years, and even resulted in a new blog. I'd love to get back into repainting those dolls someday, but there's just too much going on right now.
However, I still sometimes find myself in a crafty or artistic mood, and am often looking for outlets. One of my kids has recently become fascinated by the wooden kits made by a company called Rolife. These kits are apparently very satisfying to assemble, and result in some beautiful pieces (things like clocks, book nooks, dollhouses, and music boxes) that are a manageable size and great for display. You can see examples on the Rolife website.
I went to browse the wooden kits myself one day, thinking I might try one, and I noticed a newer line called Super Creator. The Super Creator sets are plastic kits that snap together to make a single diorama-like dollhouse room or shop. I love dioramas and dollhouses, so these kits are very appealing to me. One thing that was unclear, though, is what the scale of the kits was, and which dolls might be able to use the rooms. That left me curious. So, I decided to buy one of the rooms, build it, and then let some of my dolls test it out:
