Where in earth is "Santa" going to find this??

My DS is 6 years old and has requested a big house for his "guys" to live in (zomlings, star monsters, grossery gang etc). He doesn't really want much else in particular and he's had a hard time of things recently so I'd really like to get him what he wants for Christmas. I told him I'd see if I could find one to show Santa and he told me I don't need to look for anything because Santa can build any toy in the world!
Where the hell do I find a big house for little collectibles that isn't a normal dolls house?? Why can't he just want lego?? Confused

My 6 year old has a Sylvanian Families house - I think it’s Beechwood Hall? All her little collectibles live in it - she has star monsters, mini ponies, squashy things.

Are you crafty/a diy-er? You can make amazing stuff from old bookcases or cabinets. Old style lundby dollhouses can be easily customised too

Littlest Pet Shop do houses. Would one of them do?

traviata · 06/11/2017 22:20

what do you think the house should look like?

would a standard dolls house not do? especially if you got a bare wood one and painted it in colours that match the "guys".

or how about an Ikea hack?

I should add I'm the least crafty person in BritainGrin, he wants it to be as tall as himself Hmm and (due to school bullies Angry) is a bit paranoid about anything that could possibly be seen as "babyish"

Oh just seen your previous post!!

Here's what you do. But a bookcase from Ines the same height as him and some plywood. Use the plywood to cover the sides and make a frame around the from and paint it to look like a castle (have turrets sticking out from the top) that way it is not babyish and it is as tall as he is.
