Congratulations on your choice of a Real Good Toys product. Your kit has been precision made with meticulous
care by our craftspeople using carefully selected materials. This Dollhouse will last for years, even generations, if
heirloom care and attention is given during assembly. Take your time and read the instructions completely. If you
have questions, ask the experts at your local Dollhouse store or at info@realgoodtoys.com
Measure and identify the parts
:
The kit is packed in
groupings that protect the parts, and that is how the Parts
List is organized. As you measure and identify the parts,
label them with sticky notes using the names from the parts
list, and check them off the parts list so you know you have
everything. Taking the time now to identify and organize
the parts also makes them familiar so you will understand
what the instructions intend as you read ahead.
• Plan ahead so you know where you are going
• Read ahead so you know how to get there
• Paint ahead so the parts will be ready when you need them

Before you begin -
You have already opened the box and
see all the parts organized in boxes and bundles. For the
moment, keep them that way. There are important things to
do before you open your glue bottle.
Choose your color scheme
.
Look at houses in your com-
munity, models in your local Dollhouse shop or at our web-
site: realgoodtoys.com; look at plan books from a paint store
or architectural books at your library (a favorite is: Painted
Ladies by Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada). You will
be painting some of the parts right away so get the paint
now. Choose high-quality interior semi-gloss latex enamel
paints for ease of use and durability.
