I still remember the Christmas my parents brought out The Dollhouse. Mine was all wood, constructed from a kit my parents are bought and painstakingly put together. It was plain and unadorned, but in that house, I brought to life all kind of stories and sagas. Want to give your kids that same kind of space to create adventures? Read on to discover our favorite dollhouses - traditional, modern and the best ones for boys.

But in case your guy isn't into pink trim and Victorian-style furniture, we found these boy-friendly playhouses.

A spaceship and submarine, a camper and a castle!
