| I think that only toddlers could actually fit inside the Sunny Days Dream House tent and ball pit. |
This ad for the Barbie Dream House Pop Up Tent by Sunny Days Entertainment was in the 2023 Hammacher-Schlemmer catalogue. The indoor tent is meant for little girls, not dolls. The house is too oversized for an 11 1/2 inch doll and too undersized for the new 28-inch Barbie doll. It's probably the right size for an 18-inch SuperSize doll.
What initially threw me in this ad is what I thought was a swimming pool. It is the correct size for a regular fashion doll and would be perfect for 11 1/2 inch dolls to swim in. However, it is a ball pit, which I didn't realize until I saw other listings for this tent on the Internet. Even as a ball pit, it would be a disappointment for children, though, as there are only 20 balls, not nearly enough to surround oneself in.
I wish Mattel would make a swimming pool this size for Barbie that could actually hold water.
I've not looked for any of these tents in person so I don't know how sturdy they are. They sure are eye-catching, though!
