Dollhouse Design Camp: Build a Tiny Home
Watch your child become a miniature architect! In this hands-on camp, they design, paint, and build their dream home from scratch.
This video gives you a behind-the-scenes look at our dollhouse camp. From painting the walls to crafting tiny furniture and adding upholstery, your child will learn the fundamentals of interior design in a fun, hands-on way.
Every dollhouse is a unique world imagined and built by a child. This collage showcases the incredible variety and creativity from one of our camp sessions, proving that every little artist has a big vision.
A showcase of the fantastic and whimsical dollhouses created by our campers. Each one tells a different story, from cozy cottages to modern mansions with slides. We are always blown away by their imagination.
About this collection
We give every child a wooden structure as their blank canvas. They spend the week measuring for wallpaper, building teeny-tiny furniture from scratch, and learning how to create textures. It is messy work that teaches planning and fine motor skills—and yes, they get to take the entire mansion home.
What Happens at Camp
Think of this as an introduction to interior design, but with way more glue and glitter. We do not worry about straight lines or perfect finishes. Instead, we focus on helping kids make big decisions: What color should the bedroom be? Where does the sofa go? How do we make a rug out of scrap fabric?
Skills They Build
While they are having a blast, they are actually picking up some great skills:
- Spatial Planning: Understanding how items fit into a room.
- Fine Motor Control: Painting tiny details and gluing delicate pieces.
- Problem Solving: Figuring out how to build a chair that actually stands up.
The Logistics
We keep our Jayanagar studio well-stocked with everything from paint to scrap materials and wooden structures. You do not need to bring a thing except maybe a snack. Our batches are limited to 15 children so that everyone gets the help they need when a structural challenge pops up. Whether they want to build a modern mansion or a cozy cottage, we are here to help them make it real.
The Firefly Terrace
We are The Firefly Terrace, and we are firm believers that art is for playing, not for perfect lines. We run our Jayanagar studio as a safe, messy space where kids can build wildly and feel proud of what they made with their own two hands.
