Abstract

The present invention relates to a dollhouse integrated portable case. The dollhouse is disposed inside the case and provides printed surfaces and miniature furniture for children to play with their dolls and contents. The case includes at least three swing walls that are configured to swing around a common hinged pivot bar. The walls form at least four rooms, such as, a bedroom, bathroom, living room, dining room, kitchen, and more depending on the design of the dollhouse. The printed surfaces provide printed curtains, table, headboard, windows and more. The dollhouse further has rollable or foldable furniture, such as, a bed that is pivoted from a rotating rod disposed in one or more walls. The walls have clasps enabling the dollhouse to shut like a suitcase and includes handles enabling a user to easily carry the case during transport.
