Girls Inc. and Home Depot are collaborating on a program called Project Dollhouse.
As part of a national competition, Girls Inc. sent five teams of four girls each, ages 8 to 10, to participate in the project Saturday, Sept. 17, at the Hagerstown Home Depot store.
Project Dollhouse provides a creative outlet for girls to learn home-improvement and decorating skills through hands-on activities, adventure and discovery.
Each team constructed and decorated a dollhouse from prefabricated kits provided by Home Depot. After the dollhouses are completed, the girls will decorate, name and write a story about them.
The houses will be judged on construction and creativity. Winners will enter a regional competition, from which six finalists will be judged in the national competition.
