Help - I think I'm over thinking this...need your opinions please! I have 2 daughters...DD1 will be almost 7 and DD2 will be almost 3 at Christmas. DD1 has never been into Barbies or doll all that much. The almost 3 year old loves babies, and barbies and dolls.
Walmart had the FP Family Loving Home for the Holidays doll house (http://www.walmart.com/ip/Fisher-Price-Loving-Family-Home-for-the-Holidays-Dollhouse-7-Accessories/21777754)on sale a few weeks ago ($125), so I bought it for DD2 for Christmas as her big gift. I have opened it, and put all the stickers and what not on the house already (while they were in school). This one comes with a family of 4 people, 6 rooms of furniture, and Christmas decorations that can be taken down when the season is over (or played with continually if the kids wish!).
But during my research, I was really torn between that house and the kidkraft Savannah doll house. Now Walmart has the Savannah doll house (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=10196858&findingMethod=rr)on sale for $99 and I'm looking at it again. It's WAY bigger than the FP one, which is what made me go with the FP in the first place - but we have a playroom it will be in. And I would need to buy more furniture for it. DD2 will be getting some Barbies for Christmas, so she will have bigger dolls to play with it.
I think my DD1 would play with it along with DD2. And I know it would get played with when friends come over. I'm just torn - should I buy the Kidkraft one and return the FP one? Just keep the FP one as everyone says those get a lot of love - especially since my daughter is still pretty young? I guess I can always upgrade to a bigger house as she gets older.
Thoughts, experience? (poll coming)
