The doll could actually be placed under the paper covers and taken out, making the setup more interactive than a conventional drawing.The adjoining page featured a wardrobe, with little clothes that could be removed and used to dress the paper doll. The next section was designed as a bathroom, complete with a shower, sink and toilet. The doll could be moved around the different parts of the room, giving the handmade dollhouse the feel of a miniature play set.The notebook then opened into a kitchen, where the girl had created a small dining table for the doll to sit at, along with a refrigerator that could be opened. The level of detail continued throughout the pages, with carefully coloured furniture, rooms and accessories making the tiny home look remarkably complete. Even the wardrobe in the bedroom had functional elements, with doors that opened to reveal clothes inside. The doll could then be dressed in different outfits, turning the notebook into both a dollhouse and a paper-doll activity book.The entire creation appeared to have been drawn, coloured and assembled by hand, with the neat detailing and interactive elements making it stand out from a typical childhood craft project.Priyanka captioned the video, "Amar meyer doll house", which translates to "My daughter's dollhouse."Watch the video here:The creation prompted nostalgic reactions from social media users, with one commenter joking that the elaborate dollhouse appeared more expensive than their own notebook.Another said they loved seeing children simply being creative and enjoying childhood activities, while a third was reminded of their own childhood spent creating stories and dollhouses with paper dolls.For many viewers, the notebook appeared to capture the kind of imaginative play that required little more than paper, colours and a child's creativity.- EndsPublished By: Yashna TalwarPublished On: Aug 8, 2026 16:15 IST
