Activity 1
A-L All I want for...
Share the story of Toby's Doll's House and make a doll's house. All Toby wants for his birthday is a doll's house, with an upstairs and a downstairs. But Grandad, Auntie and Dad think a fort, farmyard and multi-storey carpark full of cars are much better ideas. Toby's birthday ends well when he creates the doll's house of his dreams from the boxes and wrapping paper that came with his other gifts.
