Sylvanian Families (DVD)

Advantages: a delightful cottage to house your sylvanian figures
Disadvantages: none

...It was my younger daughter's fourth birthday on Saturday and from her grandparents she received this delightful Rose Cottage which is part of the Sylvanian Families range. They had already bought her a little family for Christmas but they didn't have anywhere to live - hence this cottage. I love the entire Sylvanian families range and I think all of the products are particularly well made with good attention to detail and this cottage is no exception. It is made of a very sturdy plastic but it almost looks like wood. The cottage has two rooms over two floors with a connecting ladder between the two. It has a door and windows that open and close at the front. The back is open though allowing the child full access to play inside it. The cottage has a red roof and has a really lovely cottagey look to it. It's not a very big house but it... Read review

...For people who love animated comedy, this is certainly for you.

...My eldest daughter was recently six and was very excited to open a large wrapped parcel from her grandparents. Inside was this wonderful Sylvanian Familes General Hospital. This was great as the girls already have a number of items from the Sylvanian Families range so this was just adding to the collection! Before I describe the hospital it's worth just saying a little about the Sylvanian Families range in general. It is based on various different families of very cute small animals and I am always very impressed by the quality of these. Once you have a family or two there are so many houses and furniture sets which you can buy for them so that children can make up lots of lovely adventures for them. You can view the entire range at www.sylvanianfamilies.com Anyway back to the general hospital. This is a 'fully equipped' hospital... Read review
