Play Time!
Kroom Melrose Dollhouse
www.krooom.com Reviewed by Michelle Wright
Although the house comes flat packed all of the assembly
instructions are illustrated on the back of the box making a quick
visual reference all you need. To assemble the whole house and
the accessories, it only took me 45 mins and it was great that my
daughter could get involved in that part too!
The main part of the dollhouse just slots together but is surprisingly very sturdy and strong. The
cardboard is printed in lovely fresh colours making the room decor in the dollhouse really bright and
modern, with added props such as pictures and curtains printed onto the walls.
It even includes a 14 piece furniture set including chairs, tables and beds, which again slot together
every easily.
It really is a very clever, quality product which currently has pride of place in my daughter’s bedroom!

Wow! What a great product. I
found this to have much more
play time in it that normal Lego
or building blocks.
It has a theme to it so it is a lot
more interesting for my little girl.
She loves singing happy birthday
and blowing on the candles. We
make big cakes and little
cupcakes, we even have tea
parties.
I had a few of my daughters
friends play with this set too and
they loved it. The box says it is
suitable for 2-5 year olds but our
7 year old neighbour still had fun
playing with this set.

As soon as we got him out he
was on the floor, I read the
instructions but before I even
could read the first sentence the
children had him roaring away.
You simply push his head down
and he speaks various phrases
and then you let go and he roars
making movements
simultaneously. He only does his
roaring so he might get a little bit
boring but the kids were sitting
with him for a good hour pushing
his head down and making him
roar followed by lots of laughter.
The children thought he was
great and now goes everywhere
with my little girl and makes a big
appearance when Raa Raa
comes on the T.V.

Well this is an item that caused
lots of excitement in our house.
"An indoor universe? Really
mum?" said my 6 year old.
The completed planetarium is
now suspended on the ceiling
in Jamie's room and he loves to
switch it on with its remote and
watch it revolve - imitating what
it does in real life. The warm
glow from the central globe (the
Sun) is comforting and is easily
activated by the remote control.
Overall it's a great educational
product, I'm not sure I'd call it a
toy but Jamie certainly has had
enjoyment from it.
Very happy children. A very nice
product.
