Toddler Emerging Social Life

Learning social skills becomes very important in the preschool years.  Play dates, preschool and other activities are ways for your child to learn social skills, make new friends and have fun.  It also gives Moms and Dads a chance to socialize with other parents and have a little bit of a break.  

Dollhouses are a great toy for toddlers to learn social skills as they play house together.  The Green Dollhouse by Plan Toys is a great wooden dollhouse for kids ages 3 years and older.  

It is a completely eco-efficient home.  It features replicas of the alternative fuel sources and environmental controls that are used in today's eco-homes.  Children can learn as they play that by using energy, water and other resources efficiently, we can protect our environment.  The dollhouse's energy efficient design includes a wind turbine, a solar cell panel for generating electricity, a rain barrel for collecting rain, a bio facade which uses the natural cycle of plant growth to provide shading and a shade canopy that can adjust the amount of sunlight and air circulation.  Also, recycling bins are included.

This Green Dollhouse is designed to help children learn how to live in harmony with nature.  Children will learn how appliances in the house assist their daily life without damaging the environment.  They will also learn how electricity can be generated from alternative natural sources such as the sun and wind.  

The dollhouse is divided into several rooms which children can customize with furniture and accessories.  Children can act out stores about a family living in the house.  Through role playing, they can show the important roles and relationships of each family member.
