The V&A Museum of Childhood, formerly the Bethnal Green Childhood Museum, is a treasure trove of all things “children” – past, present and future.

The museum’s fascinating permanent exhibitions include “Imagine”, which looks at how children play imaginatively; “Be Inspired”, a display of beautiful things from the museum’s collection, including numerous unusual items; and “Explore” which looks at how children learn through play and acquire new skills as they get older.   These exhibitions are also supported by a number of temporary displays which is where The Dolls House Emporium was able to help!

With the arrival of school holidays, children can find plenty to do in their dolls’ houses. Squares of brightly coloured felt can be made into blankets and rugs, cotton hankies easily become table cloths, and don’t forget the old favorite, use empty matchboxes to make a mini chest of drawers.

How about decorating Bruno and Suzi, our cat & dog to look like your own pets, use coloured felt tips, pencils or paint – you could even glue on wool to make ‘fur’.

Have fun!!!
