Transform Playtime into a World of Storytelling

The Foxtail Villa is a beautifully crafted two-storey wooden dollhouse designed to nurture imagination and independence in young children. With its charming attic bedroom, bay window lounge, and thoughtfully designed rooms, this villa invites tamariki to create their own family stories and adventures.

How Your Child Will Play

Little ones arrange furniture, open and close windows, and move dolls between rooms – building fine motor skills with every interaction. They'll host imaginary tea parties in the lounge, tuck dolls into the cosy attic bedroom, and problem-solve as they decide which room becomes the kitchen or nursery. This open-ended play strengthens language development, emotional intelligence, and spatial awareness.

Watch as your child experiments with daily routines, practises caring for others, and develops social skills through pretend play. The bay window becomes a reading nook, the attic transforms into a secret hideaway, and every corner sparks new stories.

Grows with Your Child's Imagination

The Foxtail Villa is designed to evolve alongside your child's development:

• Ages 3-4 years: Simple room arrangements, doll care routines, and exploring cause-and-effect with opening doors and windows
• Ages 5-6 years: Complex storylines, role-playing family scenarios, and collaborative play with siblings or friends
• Ages 7+ years: Detailed narratives, room redesigns, and integration with other toys for extended small-world play

This longevity means the villa becomes a cherished heirloom, serving multiple children and countless hours of imaginative play.

What Makes the Foxtail Villa Special

Thoughtful Design Details: The soft, natural colour palette and sustainable plywood construction make it a beautiful addition to any Montessori-inspired play space. Opening windows and doors provide satisfying tactile feedback whilst building hand strength and coordination.

Perfect Scale: At 44 cm wide and 71 cm tall, the villa is substantial enough for engaging play without overwhelming your playroom. It fits beautifully on shelves or floor spaces and is compatible with standard 1:12 scale dolls and furniture.

Architectural Charm: Features include a welcoming bay window planter, working shutters, and a cosy attic space that children adore. Each room has printed timber floors ready to be furnished with your choice of Tender Leaf Toys furniture sets.

Practical Information for Parents

Assembly: Self-assembly required (approximately 30-45 minutes). Clear instructions included. Assembly itself becomes a learning opportunity as children observe problem-solving and construction.

What's Included: Dollhouse structure with attic, bay window, opening doors and windows. Furniture and dolls sold separately to allow families to create their own unique home and choose characters that reflect their own stories.

Compatible Accessories: Browse our complete range of Tender Leaf Toys Dolls, Doll Houses and Accessories to bring your Foxtail Villa to life.

Sustainability You Can Feel Good About: Tender Leaf Toys are hand-crafted in Indonesia from SVLK-certified reclaimed rubberwood. Each piece is finished with non-toxic, water-based paints and certified to EN 71, ASTM and AS/NZS standards. For every tree they up-cycle, the brand plants another – so when you order from Curious Moonbeam, at least 2 trees get planted!
