Imagine a toy that grows up with your child both in terms of play and intellectually. Tiny Earth Toys has dreamed up just that with Tiny Spaces. This clever creation by co-founders Rachael Classi and Catherine Bhattachar is a convertible dollhouse that transforms into a chic bookshelf, tackling the dual challenge of long-lasting play and functional furniture.
What makes Tiny Spaces stand out is its ability to adapt within, well, tiny spaces. With conversion kits sold separately, the structure can morph into various practical pieces, such as a bookshelf or other imaginative structures.
This ensures that once children outgrow the dollhouse phase, the toy isn’t relegated to storage but continues to serve a purpose in the home, holding books and serving as a lasting memento of childhood.
Standing four feet tall, the bookshelf that also dolls up opens on all sides, allowing little playmates to engage with it simultaneously. Its versatility lets it transform from a dollhouse to a castle or car garage, and eventually, into book storage that can inspire a love of reading. The transition from dollhouse to bookshelf and back again can be done in mere minutes, making it a practical addition to any household.
Constructed from sustainable, heirloom-quality materials, Tiny Spaces is designed for durability and imaginative play. Its variable nature allows for reconfiguration, creating different layouts to keep playtime exciting and fresh.
The dollhouse also features accessories that aid in fine motor development, including swings, hinges, and elements that spin 360 degrees. It even includes a handy drawer for storing small pieces not in use, adding to its practical charm.
Conversion kits are expected to be available in early 2025, with plans to expand options to include skyscrapers, schools, hospitals, pet clinics, and rocket ships. The Kickstarter campaign has already raised three times its funding goal, with shipping anticipated this November.
