Title: sylvannian families
Post by: *Becky* on November 24, 2014, 11:41:20 am
any good? Do your 3-4 year old girls like them?
M got a camping set for her bday but we don't have anything else. Am debating getting her the campervan and rabbit set for xmas from my grandmother as she gave me some money. What do you think of it?

L got the village store plus one family for her 4th birthday in September and loves it.  She's never really been in to small world play before (prefers dolls) but she is really enjoying this. Might get her some more for Xmas.

Bryony had them from when she was about 3 and would go through phases of playing with them throughout the years (she probably hasn't touched them since she was 10).  The first ones she had were my old ones from the 1980's!  The boys thought they were fun too - Eliot loves them now.  Bryony has a house which is quite fun to set up (although I had mine in a doll's house and made a house out of a shoebox too).

There is a SF shop around the corner from us - how cool is that! We often stop in to look, or just look at the window.  Eventually the time came when I thought we should 'pay some rent' so I bought some figures.  Neither LO is particularly interested in them at home for some reason, though they love to visit the shop, in fact I've just bagged them up to put away for a while.

Sadly my mum/I gave all my old SF stuff to my younger cousin :(.  I made buildings for mine too out of shoe boxes etc! So much fun!

I guess like most toys, some LOs like it and some aren't interested.

Ev has got some but had never shown any interest in them  :-\. But she's so into playmobil that other toys can't compete really! They are very cute though  :)

C got lots last Christmas at just 3yrs old. She hasn't played with them as much as I'd have liked but mainly because we've had to put them upstairs in her room as so many small pieces and G don't mix well!!! I love them though! Xxx

^^ yes we have had to do the same with Lydia's

Although on the plus side it has encouraged her to play more in her room ;)
