Storybook Cottage Broom & Dustpan Set – 1:6 Scale
Every little cottage has a daily story: a doll tidying the kitchen, sweeping after tea or putting the tools away. The Storybook Cottage Broom & Dustpan Set brings that familiar moment to your 1:6 dollhouse, with black metal handles and a brown horsehair brush.
Separate the two tools for a sweeping photograph, then bring their handles together: magnets at the top hold the pair together for storage, as shown in the main image. The small broom can sweep light paper scraps, while the dustpan has a fixed scoop. One boxed set includes one broom and one dustpan.
Pairs Well With: 1:6 Metal Mesh Wastepaper Basket, with a Black option (SKU: B11303), for a little clean-up scene. Choose your preferred basket color; the basket is sold separately.
Collector tip: Leave the magnetically joined pair beside a kitchen cupboard or in a laundry corner, then separate it when your doll has a chore to do.

FAQ
What will I receive?
One broom and one dustpan, packaged together in one paper box and sold as one set. Other items in the scene photographs are styling props.
How do the tools stay together?
Magnets at the top of the handles hold the broom and dustpan together for storage. Pull the handles apart to use or pose the tools separately. The dustpan scoop stays fixed and does not fold.
Can the broom actually sweep?
Yes. Its horsehair bristles can sweep light paper scraps on a small, flat area. Its miniature size makes it a dollhouse prop and pretend-play accessory.
How can children use it in pretend play?
With an adult, children can imitate sweeping, collecting scraps and putting the tools away. These familiar actions provide a way to talk about keeping a room tidy.
What should adults check before play?
This miniature set contains small parts and magnets. Supervise children, keep magnets out of the mouth, and check that the magnets are secure. Stop using the set if a magnet becomes loose or is missing.
