When Ava turned 2, I bought her this dollhouse. She put the little people on the first floor and moved them around for a moment, and then said "Mom, where are the 'tairs? How do dey get up dere?"
I had to show her the imaginary stairs, and also told her that the people could fly up to the second floor. She was satisfied and continued playing. I think she might have never put the people on the second floor without that explanation. Those Little People would have thought they lived in a rancher for their entire existence.
I don't think the designers stopped to realize that their demographic of 2 year old girls might be concerned with the impracticality of the architectural structure in this particular house....
