My 4 year old found my 1985 Fisher Price doll house.

Ahh the little rug upstairs unlocked all the memories for me.

Acceptable-Canary458@reddit

My family had this one, the zoo, and the farm. I still remember the sound of the doorbell in that house. These pics are fun to see. Thanks for sharing.

[-]

srslytho1979@reddit

My brother had a bunch of them and I played with them, too. I liked the garage and the barn best.

[-]

Acceptable-Canary458@reddit

Nice! Gotta love that unmistakable cow sound effect when you opened the barn door. :)

[-]

Ok_Contribution_6268@reddit

I took mine apart and was severely disappointed it was just a small metal spring inside an enclosure designed to create the acoustic.

I was equally disappointed after taking apart the cuckoo clock to find what made the noise.

[-]

Lexxxapr00@reddit

This is a memory I have long forgotten, and just re-remembered. Man I loved that toy as a kid!

[-]

goodyvvvcccdddtttwww@reddit

The farm held all the shit in the silo

[-]

bugbrown1@reddit

Yep! That "DING" is cemented in my brain. 😂

[-]

that-one-girl-who@reddit

My family had this, the barn and the boat. Lots of fun in the bathtub lol

[-]

ThrowaWayneGretzky99@reddit

These are the perfect self-contained toy! Why don't they make little collapsible playsets anymore??

[-]

Unusual_Tune8749@reddit

Playmobil makes a similar set nowadays.

[-]

Thewrongbakedpotato@reddit

I had this and the zoo, but I only have very vague memories of the zoo.

I had the house for a very long time, to the point that I don't remember even getting it. I do remember being upset that the thing didn't have stairs, because how were the people supposed to get to the bedrooms if there were no stairs? On top of that, the fact that the house split in half and the entire family basically slept in a giant bedroom together when it was closed also distressed me.

I don't remember much of the furniture, but I remember the stroller and the car floating around in the same bin as my Legos up until the late '80s. I'm pretty sure that I held onto the dog longer than any of the people, too, because dogs are cool.

[-]

owlthebeer97@reddit

I had the zoo and like a train? Also an airplane! So cute.

[-]

phoenix-corn@reddit

I always loved playing with the doorbell.

keyboardlady@reddit

The doorbell - yes!

[-]

IHaveSlysdexia@reddit

How could tou be so reckless as to leave this lying around? Your 4 year old is gonna grow up thinking she can own a house

[-]

QuietPoems@reddit

I loved this house! The rooms are much bigger in my childhood memories.

[-]

No_Carpenter3866@reddit

We had this one, the zoo, airport, marina & an "Old West" town, me & my sister's favorite toys for years. My parents had to move out of our childhood home last fall after 37 years & I was pretty devastated realizing in all the boxes & memories, these toys were no where to be found 🥺

[-]

eveninglily33@reddit

So cool! The little dolls take me back, haha! I love what your child has done with it.

[-]

Upper_Experience4871@reddit

My parents still have mine in the storage closet. We will have to dig it out when my son is old enough to enjoy it without swallowing the Fisher Price people.

Does the doorbell still work?🎶

MissBee123@reddit (OP)

Sure does!

Oh my GOSH...

Good times💕

[-]

mcflycasual@reddit

I miss my Sesame Street versions of this.

[-]

Marginally_Witty@reddit

Heads up: it turns out that lots of these toys have dangerous levels of lead in them.

My 5 and 2 year olds were playing with some of my childhood Fisher Price toys and my wife looked them up on google to look for replacement parts and discovered the articles about lead instead 😐

[-]

xzelldx@reddit

I can to point out that 80s plastic is much different than plastic used in modern kids toys and if it shatters it can be a very bad time.

Someone broke it down for me in a thread where a children’s center got donated mint OG Star Wars toys - if it isn’t lead in the paint, it’s the plastic.

[-]

chozopanda@reddit

Lord I’m pretty sure I was small enough I gnawed on the little dog figure. Well damage is done now, isn’t much to do about it.

[-]

donaldsanddominguez@reddit

No wonder those little people figures tasted so bad

[-]

[-]

MiaLba@reddit

I came here to comment exactly that when i saw the pic. I found out after my mil gave my daughter these same fisher price toys from her oldest son. I actually had a Redditor share this info with me as well so I really appreciated it.

[-]

Wow, thanks for letting me know. I had no idea.

Omg I KNOW that house but didn’t know I knew it. Very cool.

[-]

Significant_Mess_79@reddit

I had the school house one🤩

[-]

The_Scooter_King@reddit

Had one of these in the early 70's. What I loved about it then, and still do, is that the Fisher Price people's dog was just like all the people, and could thus sit anywhere, go anywhere, and drive anything.

[-]

themarchine@reddit

Yours are in way better shape than mine. But again, big family and multigenerational use do that to toys. (Don't think they have had more than a couple of years on the shelf without use ever)

[-]

I am so jelly. Can I come over and the three of can play? Lol

[-]

Omg i had one of those! I totes forgot about it. It was the hand held record player with colorful records that i remember most.

Oh my god this is amazing. My grandparents had a similar house for my sister and I when we'd go and visit them. I had no idea what brand it was until now. It's a wonder how long they made this style for considering I'd go over in the early 2010s and the one they had was in pristine condition

MetsFan3117@reddit

Omg. This fucking toy!! 🤣🫣 My first “unofficial day of kindergarten” was a meet and greet. My sassy ass didn’t want to stop playing when it ended and kept running away from my mom, who was furious and likely thinking I was about to be booted from my new school. I threw a fit, and was told to “stay in my room until your dad comes home”.

Which I did and then got my hand somehow stuck in the garage of this toy house. And yelled and yelled and yelled. And my mom thought I was still being a brat. By the time my dad got home I was so mad at that dollhouse I put it in my brothers closet and never touched it again!! 🤣 total core memory unlocked.
