Young kids just love to pretend they are the same size as their parents!  They see their parents doing certain activities and instantly feel they are capable of doing them as well.  As part of the child’s pretend world, parents often buy toys and other accessories for the kids that will allow them to imitate the behavior of adults – just the ones that are healthy!

One example of a toy that parents can get for kids is a doll nursery.  A doll nursery is really a pretend nursery for dolls that allows young kids to pretend they are parents.  In most cases, little girls are more interested in a baby doll nursery , however there are some cases where boys express interest as well.  This is mainly due to the fact that they see their fathers doing some of the caring.

Generally, a dolls nursery will include the basic accessories like a baby crib, changing station, nursing chair, stroller and high chair.  With each of these accessories, young kids can play for hours with a doll and pretend to be caring for a real-life child just like they see their parents doing.

There are some popular examples of doll nurseries available on the Internet, and the prices vary.  In many cases, the prices are tied into the brand but in other cases tied into the material the nursery is made of and the quality of the construction.  Take a look at some of them:

  • Plan Toys Doll House Nursery – this is a wooden nursery that costs about $19.99
  • American Plastic Toy Deluxe Nursery – as the name suggests, it is made of plastic and includes a changing station with cupboards and a mobile.  The regular price is $59.99
  • Disney Princess Nursery Playcenter – this Disney themed doll nursery is popular and has a Disney price tag of $99.99 attached
  • Melissa & Doug Deluxe Doll-House Nursery Furniture – this is an all white doll nursery by Melissa & Doug that retails for just $29.99
  • Graco Interactive Smart Baby Doll & Nursery Playset – this is a Graco brand doll nursery that also comes with a baby doll.  At $54.99, it provides good value for money

As you can see, a doll nursery can provide hours of fun and entertainment for young kids.  Not only will they be captivated by the activities that they are doing, but they will essentially be learning how to care for a young one so when they are old enough to do so they would have had a good foundation.
