As kids grow up, they love to play house! I remember making my barbies go camping and having a lego mansion to build in. My son Micah now has an adorable little Calico Critters house to play in and he loves it! International Playthings has a lot of fun, child-friendly toys and this fits right in!
Calico Critters
Calico Critters are adorable little animals that stand a few inches tall and are so fun to play with! Calico Critters have lots of kits, families, and animals so your child can choose his/her favorite animal and activity! They all look adorable, so you can’t go wrong!
Calico Critters Cozy Cottage
A great place to start is a starter house! The Cozy Cottage comes with one little Hopscotch Rabbit, a two story house, and some furniture and items to go with her! We love that the second floor of the house can come out to double as a green yard or an extended floor. Micah adores the little kitchen with it’s opening open and cupboards for him to cook the little food in the little pan with the little fork. Then he can set the rabbit in her chair or bench to eat on her little plate before tucking in to her bed to go to sleep for the night. And then doing it all over again! Today we had some fun with the opening door and some little imaginary visitors! It’s so fun to see his creative mind at work playing, following routines like we do, and making up stories.
Calico Critters: Quality
The quality of the products seems great! My 3 and 1.5 year old kids have both played with it and I have no concerns that they might break it. The colors are vibrant, the shapes and lines are correct, the paint and cloth seem durable, and even the rabbit feels like it will hold up to many hours of enjoyment over the coming years. The second floor moves in and out easily, and the pieces are detailed and small for little fingers, but not delicate. I don’t even bother telling Micah to be gentle.
Calico Critters: Cons
The pieces are so small. They have to be to be sized correctly, and they really aren’t any smaller than Barbie items, but the fork, plate and food are doomed to be lost sooner than later in our house. Other than that, it’s a great product and so much fun! I do wish it came with a few more bunnies so he would have a whole family, I’m glad I can go online and buy more pieces and animals.
Calico Critters: Overall
I love the Calico Critters house. I think it will be better as my kids get a little older and a little better at handling the small pieces. I love to watch my 3 year old be creative with it and I look forward to lots of play time with this adorable house and bunny. I have to say I prefer it over Barbie because the animals create no reflection on personal appearance/weight/etc. They are simply cute animals for playtime without stereotypes or expectations.
