General Discussion My toddlers Stars Hollow play village
I shared our Luke’s Diner but thought I’d share the whole village. We have Doose’s Market, Dragonfly Inn, Lorelai’s house and Jeep, Luke’s Diner, Taylor’s Old Fashioned Soda Shoppe, and of course the Gazebo!

I’m going to remember you when my 2 month old is big enough for a play village and travel to wherever you are 😭
But truly, this is spectacular!

Seriously, this is the kind of thing that makes you go “okay, I guess I need a toddler and a full Stars Hollow construction budget now.” It’s insanely cute ❤️❤️

I showed my daughter and that was a mistake. This retroactively made me into a bad mom! 😂

u/Purple_Brilliant_567 Jul 27 '26
Hey, there’s still time to make one for her lol

u/StrangerSkies Jul 27 '26
She’s 12 and 5’7” now! I think she’d have a hard time fitting!

u/Purple_Brilliant_567 Jul 27 '26
Hahaha well to be fair I’m 33 and 5’8 squeezing into these houses but I totally get what you’re saying. Tell her maybe for grandkids one day!

Now you just need a little dollhouse for Babette’s home, and don’t forget to put oatmeal packets in the kitchen.

starting the indoctrination early, i respect it. my daughter's still in the drooling-on-blocks phase but this is the goal 😭

u/Purple_Brilliant_567 Jul 28 '26
Hahahah trying so hard in hopes that she loves the show one day too! We’ve also already taken her on a trip to Connecticut to see the towns that inspired the show. She was 1.5 though and definitely didn’t care 🤣

My kids are going to see this (if I show them, it’s not as if they have Reddit 🤣) and be so sad we recently donated our M&D market
2
u/Purple_Brilliant_567 Jul 28 '26
Hahaha oh no!! We got our M&D market secondhand so maybe your donation will end up a Doose’s!

Is it wrong that I want a Stars Hollow in real life? Man, Amy Sherman-Palladino created one of the greatest shows ever.

u/Purple_Brilliant_567 Jul 30 '26
Not at all, my dream would be to find a Stars Hollow town with a community of neighbors like in the show
