Default Dig box with a view :)

I used jumbo sticks to start the build


Then added 2 plastic sides so I can watch her


I added a front fence to help contain digging material & made a lid with entrance hole


Here it's finished but waiting for glue to be completely dry before filling it up & giving it to her

Your welcome, it wasn't my idea, I saw something similar on line made by Trixie and decided to make my own version of it, it's much more fun than buying one ready made

I already had everything I needed, it's all just different odds and ends which were left over from other projects so I managed this in an afternoon, about 4.5 hours non stop though LOL

I had some polycarbonate off cuts left over from making a cold frame for the tortoises but you could use any see through plastic, I don't think it would need to be very heavy duty? Colours LOL, I never got as far as that I made a spiral staircase for her out of the ready coloured sticks, I thought it looked pretty but Willow hated it and refused to use it, it's waiting to be recycled into something else when inspiration hits
Good luck with yours, look forward to seeing the photo's

I'm just a big kid LOL I never had a dolls house as a child & I always wanted one so here I am a full grown adult with my very own dolls house
I have been making my own furniture for it, the posts you mention are from a dolls house shop They are newel posts for building a dolls house staircase
They are just there for decoration though, you don't really need them, I had some extra ones left over so put them to good use
