Meet the Family!
Whether you know them as "Calico Critters" or "Sylvanian Families" these little creatures are simply precious! Read on to discover more about this fun line of toys from International Playmates, and why I like them so much.
A Family Tradition Lives On
I have fond memories of playing with the Cottontail Rabbit family when I was growing up. I thought that Sylvanian Families was a thing of the past until I saw some Calico Critters on display at a local toy store. I jumped up and down with glee when I discovered that they were still the same after all these years!I'm excited to be able to pass along the fun to my own daughter now. She's started her own collection with the Slydale Fox family this Christmas. And her birthday's in April and she can't wait to see which family will come to live with us next! Since she can't read yet, I think it's safe to tell you that Mommy has her eye on the Norwood Mouse family! And one of those country cottages, too.
It's so great to both have a love for these cute little toys that we can share.
