Caring Corners Mrs Goodbee Talking Dollhouse
As a child, I remember being captivated by dollhouses of all sorts – and, it’s really no surprise that I still love them. I remember sitting on the floor, with my dolls and house and their accessories all laid out – then, “Vroooooom!” *CRASH!* *BANG*
My little brother and his army of camo-ed out Ken dolls and dump trucks had apparently heard of a bomb threat and had orders to destroy my little village. Occasionally, my dolls would make it out with more than one arm stuck to their torso. But, rarely.
Back then, there was no Mrs Goodbee Talking Dollhouse…
This dollhouse is the bomb-diggity. I don’t know if they’d actually put that term in their press-releases and commercials, but they really could…because this thing seriously rocks! This is one of those dollhouses that EVERYONE’s going to be talking about because… IT TALKS!
Mrs. Goodbee (the talking dollhouse) has these little buttons all throughout her, and when pushed they each do different things. I really have no clue what she’d say if kid brother (or sister) wrecks into her with a dump truck, but I’m sure whatever it is would be a slight scolding in a very polite way. I do know, however, that the doorbell rings and Mrs. Goodbee welcomes you inside, the toilet flushes, the refrigerator opens and Mrs. Goodbee encourages you to eat your fruits and vegetables…and she even has a turkey and a pie in the oven (Um, when can *I* move in?).
The compactly folded-up house (PERFECT for stowing away under a bed or in a closet when not in use) looks like this (from one side) when you fold it out…
And…that’s just ONE side. Seriously…You have rooms galore with tons of different activities, so there’s no shortage on things to do.
And, my favorite part (Okay, second favorite part)? It comes ASSEMBLED and WITH BATTERIES!!!!
Do you know what this means? (I’ll tell you…) It means no unwrapping and then your child realizing it’ll take YOU 5 hours to put it together AND you forgot the batteries. Nope, none of that with Caring Corners, they’ve totally got your back.
And, in case you still don’t believe me about the awesome factor for this cool little house, check out some of the other features:
- Developed in conjunction with Child Development Expert and Author Dr. Michele Borba
- 400 activities, songs, words and sounds
- Eight “hot spots” where Mrs. Goodbee’s voice gently guides children and responds to what they do
- Twelve large rooms – six on each side — perfect for two children to share
- Comes with Girl doll and Boy doll, dog, reward stickers and online games
- Extends the acts of caring, sharing and preparing for responsibilities from the pretend world into their real world
- Online games at CaringCorners.com that reinforce the dollhouse lessons of caring and sharing
- A “Parent’s Corner” at CaringCorners.com offers helpful advice and ideas for additional ways to help children learn about caring, sharing and preparing for responsibilities
- The Carton of Caring Donation Program partnership with Goodwill Industries
- For children ages 3 and up
- Can be purchased at retailers nationwide, including Wal-Mart, Target and Toys R’ Us

I would LOVE to win this dollhouse for my husband’s niece. For one thing she loves playing with dolls and the second thing is maybe this will teach her some manners/responsibilities and to eat her veggies(she can act like the devil sometimes…). I live in Illinois. Thanks for this contest!

I’m from the great state of Texas (Dallas, Texas)! And I must win this ‘adorable’ talking dollhouse for my nine year-old daughter or else I’ll be the ‘SCROOGE’ in my household for the rest of the year! My Princess has been begging my wife and I for weeks for a new dollhouse, but regrettably,we haven’t had the extra money to purchase one for her. Winning the Mrs. Goodbee Talking dollhouse would be a dream come true for not only my daughter, but ny wife and I as well! Please, include us in your giveaway drawing. Thanks and Happy New Year!

I would love to win this for my daughter who has a birthday coming up. I MUST have it to fulfill my fantasies that there is some toy, somewhere, that will occupy her alone in her room for an extended period of time. Her twin brother will play with cars on the floor for hours, but my Katie requires constant interaction. I am in Kansas. Don’t be jealous.

Hi,
I would love to win this for my granddaughters, Jazmin 10, alexia 6, Elizabeth 4 and Savannah 3. They, along with their older brother, mom and dad live with me. I adore them. The older three share a bedroom and most everything. They are adorable girls. Elizabeth has epilepsy and had to learn all functions, including her speech all over again, when she was 18 months when she had her first life threatening seizure. She also has kidney problems. Savannah has had a speech learning difficulty and is now so much better. We all learned sign language to communicate with her when she was younger. She now speaks much better. This dollhouse would be perfect for all four of them. This reminds me of a tree that was called the talking tree in a Lazarus Department Store in a Mall in Indianapolis when my own daughters were small. My oldest fell in love with the tree and we had to visit there everytime we went to the mall. We live in Oklahoma City, OK. Today was the first day I found your contest, or I would have entered every day. I will watch for future contests and posts from now on. Thanks for offering something so wonderful as this talking dollhouse.

I’d like to win this for our 3-year-old daughter, who loves her dollies. This would give her a doll house for them to call home. And, I had no idea girl’s toys could talk or have electronic activities. What a surprise! We live in Houston, Texas.

As a Grandparent I like the emphasis on caring and sharing. This would be for my two Grandchildren to share. And, with all those rooms, the two grandkids could play together nicely! It’s reassuring to know that the dollhouse was developed in conjunction with Child Development Expert and Author Dr. Michele Borba. Thanks for all the information you’ve provided. Since the dollhouse has so many voice and song components I must win it so my grandchildren will get to have an experience I could never have even imagined as a child. And, the grandkids would also have all the same options for imaginative play as I did with my simple dollhouse growing up, yet many more! Jasper, Texas Grandma
Kathy S
I entered with comment the other day, but forgot all about you yesterday…sorry! This is adorable, and I just know that my granddaughters would enjoy it for hours at a time! Thanks for the giveaway!

I want to win this for my children! Heck, even our dog would enjoy the gleeful screams which would result from the kids excitement. I must win it as it’s adorable, fun, and comes assembled with batteries! (It took me forever to assemble the latest Princess Scooter.) Home is Houston, Texas.

I simply love this dollhouse. I have three granddaughters, Ava, 3 years old, Keira, 2 years old and Emily 1 year old. They all come to visit their Gammy, I would love to have this doll house at my home, for them to play with. It would be something that they could use for years. Brenda
