Dolls House - 2025 Project nearing completion.

 

In March of this year we started a school based project, in conjunction with a senior classroom (Year 7/8) where we attempted to rebuild a Dolls House as a special gift for our junior school.

We have written extensively about the project including the role that our students played, which was creating the furniture which will ultimately go into it for the students to play with - this is detailed in the slideshow at the end of this post.

Since August the Dolls House has undergone the final layering of details.   There are now two balconies on one side of the house above the two doors.   The upper layer has been created with windows and additional strength has been provided by a beam that is running the length of the design.

An internal staircase has also been introduced.   The entire design is now awaiting roofing with hinges that can provide easy access and some finishing touches.   A clear coat will be applied to the final design to seal and protect it.

We are also going to use the Versa Sign Maker to produce a protective coat for the wood.

While this has been a significant long term project it will end up producing something that will receive considerable use in the junior school.

The slideshow below details the entire project and our students involvement in the furniture making.
