Abstract
A play house for use by children to play with dolls or toy figurines. It has a base, a plurality of lateral walls and a roof which altogether define an openable enclosure externally shaped as a house. It also has one or more floor members within the enclosure, each of which has an upper surface provided with a plurality of identical connecting elements, preferably in the form of cylindrical studs, that extend upwardly therefrom. The connecting elements are sized and positioned to fit into, and retain construction toy blocks capable of being assembled with other construction toy blocks provided with the same connecting elements. Advantageously, the floor members are detachably mounted within the enclosure to allow the construction toy blocks to be assembled therewith outside the enclosure. This feature makes the play house easier to play with, as the child may remove the floor member, then build easily on it with the construction toy blocks, and finally reinsert the floor member with the built structure into the play house. This also makes it possible to easily interchange some already built floor members, if the child wants to interchange some of the rooms or pieces of furniture decorating the same, without having to dismantle them and construct them again.
