Is this dollhouse too minimal for a 9 year old?

I think it is. I bought it for my 2 year old and it is perfect but at 9, she would probably enjoy a really dollhouse. This house is well made and very cute. I love that it folds up with everything tucked inside. Very easy to clean up and keep the pieces together.

It's only a little over a foot and a half off the ground, so it's low. My nine year old son takes the top off and puts it in the floor to build on though like a giant Lego plate. If your son doesn't mind sitting in the floor to build, it would be fine.

I think that depends on your grand daughter's preferences. If she is into doll houses and 'playing house' then she may like it. Honestly, I bought this when my daughter was really young. She is now four and actually prefers to play with the little dolls without the house. I actually have a smaller folding Melissa and Doug doll house, which she prefers. I am thinking this item...the deluxe wooden house is a good size for an eight year old. If she is into art, she might like painting it too. I hope I was of some help.

Yes, too small. My four-year old loves this, but needs help putting things together.

I bought this for my 9 year old granddaughter I thought it was rather small but ok for a kid

I wouldn't give this to a 9 year old. Perhaps I'm a bit old fashioned, but I think this is more for teenagers who are experimenting with the look they wish to achieve as a young adult. It would be suitable for a teenager's slumber party. When my daughter was 9 I purchased a much more "fun" pack (at least to her) for playing with in preparation for Halloween type makeup or other dress up. She was pretty imaginative and was more interested in being a lion, mouse, ghost, than a miniature adult. She was never into the "little princess thing." Hope this is helpful.

It may be a bit small for a 9 year old. My 12 year old plays dolls with my 5 year old, and she can push this stroller around even though she is too big for it. My suggestion would be to look for a cheap, "real" umbrella stroller for your 9 year old. It would be the right size and probably cheaper.

It's hard to say because she hasn't had another one. But my 10 year old likes this house a lot. She got it for Christmas when she was 9. She still loves to play with Barbies. Like the previous response, we find this house to be sturdy (it survived a move from one state to another in a moving truck) and it's nice and open, making it easy to play in with the dolls. The furniture is fun too. She's used it around her room as well as inside the house.

I don't know as my granddaughter is only 9 years old and it is the perfect size for her.

I don't think so as my granddaughter's 9 year old friend enjoys playing with it! It is perfect of American Girl dolls!

I bought this for my 1 year old about 6 months ago. The bar seems to be the right height for her to hang on to and bounce. She will be 2 in a few months. I think I would invest in something different for a 9 year old unless they have trouble with coordination and balance.

My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old. The house itself is pretty durable, but things like the windows and doors are, frankly, flimsier than I would like. For the price of the house, I was a bit surprised at this. My daughter is very gentle with her toys, but I felt even for her I had to remind her, please play gently. The furniture is pretty durable overall, but again, for the price of this stuff, some of it is shoddy. The tub faucet broke off in about 5 minutes and the legs on the chairs are really thin and I feel like could snap in a minute. I love the house, how it lights, etc., but I am just hoping it lasts until my daughter is older. My daughter is 5 and I think it is ok for her, but I would not recommend for a 2-3 year old.

No, the furniture is a bit too small to fit properly. Melissa and Doug make a family that coordinates with their furniture and doll house.

I do not think your 9 year old would be too old for this bow set. I bought 2 for my children ages 4 and 7. They use it often and enjoy it and I have to say I also have used it and enjoyed it too. I would think she would really enjoy it.

This is perfect for a 2 year old, probably a little small for a 9 year old.

I would say that a 9 year old could play it with some minor assistance. 12 to play autonomously. I must admit that my mom can't play without help, and she is 60. :)

hi there! I think the Plan Toy furnishings would be much too small for a Barbie house. We now have a Kidkraft dollhouse (love it too) that fits Barbie dolls and the furniture is definitely larger.
