Calico Critters Lakeside Lodge

Can’t wait to give it to my 3 yr old

Great value for money spent! These Calico Critters have dropped significantly in price, they’re actually affordable now. My 9 year old daughter loves these tiny things, so beware it does come with tiny pieces. We use ziplock bags to maintain it all in between play times. This comes with a car and the dining set and other pieces so it has quite a bit to play with. It doesn’t take up much room at all and the pieces could fit inside the house, maybe the car could too! Dogs tend to love the critters as well; two different dogs chewed up different critters, so keep out of reach of dogs! Must smell or taste good to them!

My daughter loves these and often plays with them and she has a lot of them. I don't think I've ever heard her remark on how totally cute one is until she opened this one (she's five and kind of takes it for granted because yeah they're all cute lol but she made a note of how cute this one was). And I have to agree it's super cute and although the price fluctuates, if you watch the price and buy it when it's at the low side it does turn out to be a great value.Overall Calico Critters are adorable and well-made toys, and one of the things I really love to play with along with my daughter. I'd have thought I'd died and gone to heaven if they'd have had these when I was a little girl!

I love this, and the little van is adorable. I did open it in advance of gifting and assembled all of the little stuff. It has some small pieces (silverware, plates, glasses) etc. that need to be separated from a little plastic frame, and there is also some stickers for the van headlights etc. I recommend you do the same before you gift it and it will save some time!

Bought this because it was a really great deal on cyber Monday and I loved these little figures and sets when I was little. I wasn’t sure if my 2 year old daughter was ready for it yet and was going to hold onto it until her 3rd birthday but we ended up giving it to her for Christmas. She loves it! And surprisingly my 7 year old son and 4 year old son also like it and they all play nicely together. Just a note: I did not let her have all the tiny accessory pieces that come with this set (plates, food, etc) I put them in a box to save for when she’s a bit older if she is still playing with this in a couple years.

My 6 year old has my big, wooden dollhouse from childhood and several Calico Critters families and furniture. She wanted this log cabin/lodge for her birthday. As with other Calico Critters items, it's pricey for the size, but she enjoys it. She can fit either a small table/chairs in it, and a little bed or couch, but it's not big enough for kitchen furniture, table, and couch to easily fit. The little deck & Hot tub/shower is cute, but just slides over the doorstep, it would be nice if it could hook onto something to keep in place easier. Overall, cute set and my daughter is quite happy with it.

The Calico Critters, or AKA Sylvanian Families, have been in our home for a long time. I kept some of them from 1988, which I bought for my daughter when she was 5. She is now 36 and her daughter also loved playing with them when I pulled them out of the garage. I was so happy to discover they are still being made! We have several families of them and i recently bought the Lakeside Lodge. I have 2 granddaughters now and both of them love to play with Calico Critters, dress and undress them, make-believe stories about them, etc. Definitely one of my favorite kid toys!

I give it a 4 because the hammocks won’t stay hooked and the ladder won’t stay up which is really frustrating for a little one as well as a parent who has to constantly stop to put them back up multiple times in a short period of time. Other than that, amazing toy for imaginative little ones. She has played hours with it (despite the hammocks and ladder falling lol) and it’s so cute to hear her playing using different voices for the critters!

Très bonne achat

The cars seats don't come attached, nor do they stay attached. You simply place them in the vehicle. The car seats for the "babies" come with what looks like elastic bands for seat belts. There are paper birthday hats and gifts you must assemble which come apart all to easy. There are very small parts and like all other Calico products, it requires gentle use. Regardless, fun to play with. The cakes, dishes, cutlery, and all other pieces are very realistic. Love the details.My 8 year old loves it.

I love this. I can’t wait to see my granddaughter’s reaction when she opens this gift. Though it is rather expensive for plastic.

Parfait

Some parts fall out otherwise it’s great!
