The story behind Once Upon a Treehouse reminds me of my own childhood.  Started  by two sisters who recalled their childhood wooden dollhouse built by their grandfather, I recall the beautiful dollhouse my grandfather built for my sister, which I coveted.  Not many grandfathers today are building wooden dollhouses, so we need eco-friendly, fair trade committed companies like Once Upon a Treehouse to provide this classic toy for this generation.

We were sent a Petunia doll to play with:

• Petunia wears her black hair braided with a pretty pink ribbon. She is dressed in pink leggings, floral tunic accented with a pink belt.
• 4” high
• All dolls are eco-friendly having cotton faces & hands, wool hair, wooden feet and heads stuffed with wool. No plastic is used.
• All faces are hand painted, so no doll is exactly alike.
• Recommended for 3+ yrs
• Handmade in Latvia, Europe

I love that these dolls come in all colors and ethnicities reflecting the world culture.  Plus, for every doll sold, another is sent to a child in need.

Each doll is handmade and quite fascinating to watch the process:

Every child deserves a dollhouse for dramatic play, no matter the gender. I completely trust Once Upon a Treehouse for quality, eco-friendly, natural toys!  I am excited to have discovered the company.
