'In the 16th–18th centuries, early "baby houses" were elaborate display cabinets made by wealthy families in Europe. They were not toys for children but status objects and teaching tools for women, intended to show how to run a household. These were often kept in attics and not accessible to kids, and the "baby" name referred to size...By the late 19th century, dollhouses began to be produced for girls as part of domestic training, they were a gendered toy in marketing.'. ... these days, dollhouse play is most common and developmentally aligned for children aged about 3 to 9 years.
