Fun things to do with our doll furniture

Our Beautifully Hand Crafted Furniture
is designed to help make playtime more fun for children and enhances the way kids play with their dolls, teddy bears, beanie babies, stuffed animals and more!

Children love to take part in activities!
Picking out colors and patterns, painting or staining, adding rub-ons or stencils can be very exciting for children and it helps them to be more creative. It can also give them a great sense of confidence and accomplishment.

Our doll beds are stackable and some are reversible
All of our pieces (designed for the American Girl Doll) can be interchangeable. Buy One, two, three, four, or more beds and they can all stack on top of eachother. They can also be turned upside down and used in different ways. Our Canopy bed (bed with scalloped sides) was designed for just this purpose. It can stack on top of another bed and act as a bunk bed or it can be turned upside down and used as a (wooden) canopy bed. The two beds can also unstack and be used as 2 separate beds.

Our Trundle beds are designed so the drawer is attached
This way, the drawer can be opened and used while the bed is stacked on top of another bed. The drawer was also designed so that the American Girl Doll could be stored in there and the drawer can be closed at the same time. The drawer can be used as a Doll Storage, a Trundle bed, or for storing Accessories. This trundle bed set is a bed and drawer combo. They are sold as one unit and not sold separately. The bed is a little taller than our standard beds to allow for the drawer to be deep enough. You can use this bed in combination with our other beds and we do offer this bed with Scalloped sides.

Count the Tree Rings

Tree rings can actually tell you how old a tree is because the trees produce a new ring each year. A new ring forms in between the most recent ring and the bark of the tree. This causes the tree to grow wider with one ring marking each year.

Notice the dark parts of the circle and the lighter parts. These represent the seasons of growth. The lighter parts of the rings are when the tree was growing in the spring. The dark spots of the circles tell you when the tree was growing in the late summer and the fall seasons. By looking at the color of the rings, you can read what season it was created.

Learn the terminology the scientists use. Dendrochronology is what scientists call using trees to measure time. When you begin counting the tree rings, you are actually measuring time using a tree.

Start counting the rings from the middle of the tree. Don't start from one side and work your way to the other side or you will be counting each ring twice. Start at the middle and choose an end to work towards. Count each ring only once; this will tell you how many rings the tree has.

Check the thickness or thinness of the ring. Reading a tree ring this way can tell you what the climate was like each year the tree was growing. The better and more ideal the tree's growing conditions were in a particular year, the fatter the ring will be. If the tree didn't get enough water one year, you can expect to see a very thin ring.

Combine all of these things to read about the tree's life. If the tree has a light, thin ring just two rings in from the bark, you can tell that two years ago in the spring there wasn't enough water for the tree. If you see that five rings in, there is a dark thick ring, you can safely say that five years ago in the late summer or early fall, the tree had plenty of rainfall and ideal conditions for growing.
