Instructions for
Real Good Toys’
the
Colonial Addition
Special Edition Kit #JM-44
©09/17
Congratulations on your choice of a Real Good Toys product. Your kit has been precision made with meticulous
care by our craftspeople using carefully selected materials. This Dollhouse will last for years, even generations,
if heirloom care and attention is given during assembly. Take your time and read the instructions completely.
If you have questions, ask the experts at your local Dollhouse Store or at [email protected]
Measure and identify the parts
:
The kit is packed in
groupings that protect the parts, and that is how the Parts
List is organized. As you measure and identify the parts,
label them with sticky notes using the names from the parts
list, and check them off the parts list so you know you have
everything.
Taking the time now to identify and organize
the parts also makes them familiar so you will understand
what the instructions intend
as you read ahead.
• Plan ahead so you know where you are going
• Read ahead so you know how to get there
• Paint ahead so the parts will be ready when you need them
Prepare your space
:
This dollhouse will spread out
over a large area while it is being built. You will need
a large flat tabletop for the house, several boxes to keep
parts organized until they are needed, and several trays
lined with waxed paper for holding small parts while
they are being painted.
A snap-lid box will keep your tools and supplies handy
between building sessions.
Preview the Overview
(page 3) to plan and organize
your build; this helps make it fun and fulfilling.
