Product Description

Editorial Review

If your little girl constantly plays with her Barbie dollhouse, she will fall in love with the Barbie and Me Playhouse, which is tall enough to get her right into the action. This life-sized plastic playhouse measuring 53 inches across, 50 inches long, and 58 inches high, is big enough to host Barbie and child together. A formal door invites kids and guests inside while a miniature door to the side opens for Barbie. The playhouse has two front windows, two side windows with shutters, and a built-in play table on the back side of the house that doubles as a balcony for Barbie and her friends. Other interior features include two storage pockets and an electronic play phone (two AA batteries required) for planning Barbie's busy social calendar. The playhouse is made entirely of plastic so it can live outside all year round and comes in eight easy-to-assemble parts. --Cristina Vaamonde

This is awesome!

We bought this playhouse for our daughter this afternoon.

She is 3 and really into pretend play. My husband put it together in a couple of hours, it wasn't too difficult. It is ADORABLE!!! She loves it! It's midnight here & she's still in her new house LOL!

My 11 year old can stand up inside and not hit her head on the roof, so there are years of play ahead without our 3 year old growing out of it too fast.

There is a battery operated phone inside, a cute little built in table, a pretend clock, two windows that open, a sky light, and next to the actual front door, there is a little front door that is "doll" sized. Too cute!

I have nothing negative to say about this playhouse. Even my husband was in it earlier playing with my daughter. It was worth the money!

I did lots of research into the different play houses available and found this one to be the best value in this price range. It's bigger than most I looked at and was also the cutest (for a girl).

We got this item for our daughter's third birthday (May 2003). We also got her the Barbie Take Along Tunes Jeep. We had a ton of kids over and they were the biggest hits! The kids played with them non-stop (even when it started raining). Since then my daughter has used the house quite a lot, often by herself (for about an hour or so at a time). When we've had other parties all the kids love it, even the boys.

The only thing that wasn't GREAT was the fact that the chairs in the picture don't come with it. I've looked all over for durable chairs to match the house (pink or purple) and can't find any.

It is SUPER durable! My husband and I were moving it off our deck, it slipped and went over the railings. It dropped about 5 or 6 feet to the ground. The only thing that happened is the corner attachment came apart. It slipped right back in and is as good as new. It was also very easy to put together. I did it by myself and it took only about an hour and a half.

I'd recommend it to anyone with a girl who loves pretend play.

This house is very cute. My Father-in-law and I put it together in about 45min. This review is being written on Christmas Eve so my daugher has not had a chance to see it yet. I'm sure she will love it. Two hints on putting it together. 1)If you have a cordless drill with a screwdriver bit it will make your life much easier. It will also save the palms of your hands. 2)Instead of putting the roof on the house in three different pieces like the directions say, put all three pieces together and then put it on top of the house at the sametime. Enjoy.
