A loves little dolls an little figures. Her dolls houses and little plastic characters are the things she plays with the most and it is lovely to watch her sit and do role play with them. Having previously had boys, I had never considered Sylvanian Families before but whenever I have seen them, I have always thought that they looked very cute and definitely something that I would have loved when I was a little girl.
So as you can imagine, when I handed A the package to open and she found a Sylvanian Families set inside, she was just a little bit excited.
She had never seen Sylvanian Families before and we had a nice time looking at the set and then we spent some time on the iPad looking at the different families that you can buy. We were sent Freya’s Day at the Seaside (RRP £12.99) which includes Freya Chocolate Rabbit in a swimsuit, a table and umbrella, deck chair, swimming ring, towel, bag and even a glass of orange juice.
A got to work straight away setting up the set and she loved all the little things which she enjoyed using in her little role play game that followed.
Freya the rabbit is really cute and I hadn’t realised that the Sylvanian Families animals are made of flocked plastic, so they are really soft to touch which makes them extra sweet.
A has been playing with Freya endlessly over the last few days and has used it with other toys to make little seaside role plays. The set fits in well with her dolls house and other small toy sets and I have been pleased to see that it has encouraged A’s imaginary play. I am also impressed with the quality of the set and the attention to detail is amazing.
We have been on the website a few times now looking at the different sets and I have realised that I may have created a monster as A is busy making a list of the many, many sets that she wants and I have a feeling that we could be having a Sylvanian Family birthday and Christmas this year. You can create whole towns with the sets and there are lots of different animals to choose from too.
We were sent the Sylvanian Families set for the purpose of this review. All images and opinions are our own.
Oh how gorgeous is this set? My youngest two discovered Sylvanians this year too and we adore them. Hours and hours of fun!
It is really cute. That is good to know as I think we will be getting some more in this house this year
My sister (a fair few years younger than me!) always loved Sylvanians and had loads. I hoped my daughter would like them (because I wanted them!), but she never showed any interest unfortunately 🙁

Oh no that’s a shame. We had a similar thing with Star Wars which the MIL bought lots of ships and figures for the boys and they sit in the box gathering dust as they have never been played with
I had Sylvanian Families when I was little so when a relative suggested getting it for Pip, I was really pleased! She’s now got a few of the sets and they are brilliant for role play.

They are so good, we only have the one set, but I think that we will be getting some more
Run, run while you still can! 😉 Only kidding, but honestly my house is overrun with all the teeny tiny bits. My 5yo loves them; several birthdays and christmasses worth add up…

Yes we have already added a couple bits more from some holiday money from Granny. They are cute but the little bits are seriously little aren’t they?
