Each of the 13 crafted furniture pieces is unique to Dora's casa—including a charming bed for Dora to take naps. Splashes of vivid color and artwork are everywhere, playing up Dora's adventure theme throughout the dollhouse. Playful details like the terracotta style roof, open balcony, wooden swing and simulated tile entry add additional realism. Even Dora's best friend, Boots, appears among the artwork. 31.97" L x 13.98" W x 46.42" H

The Dora Kitchen even features a plastic molded terracotta style roof that complements the Dora Dollhouse. Other lifelike details like burners that light up with realistic cooking sounds and knobs that turn and click add an engaging, interactive element.
