Playing with dolls is a common childhood experience, especially for girls. From the latter half of the 20th century, dolls began to get more sophisticated and varied, offering children a wide variety of appearances, costumes, accessories and modes of interaction for their play, including settings such as dollhouses in different forms. This Barbie Travelin’ House Trunk dollhouse is in the form of a pink suitcase that opens into a compact home where users can place their dolls, reflecting the increasing affordability of travel, even for young families. It comes with a detailed set of accessories that are reflective of the consumer culture of the 1990s, such as the television set, phone and jewellery box. It also includes surprises such as vanity lights and a hidden bathtub under the bedcovers. This dollhouse provides an example of the kinds of innovations increasingly seen in toys of the 1990s-2000s to enhance interactivity in creative ways.
