Calico Critters Norwood Mouse Family Review

Average Reviews:

My daughter has played with the 80's version of the Calico Critters at Grandma's from age 3 on up, and was delighted when she received this mouse family for her birthday. She loves imaginative play and has made a beautiful homemade shoebox house for her little mice, including furniture made from household odds and ends. She is getting her brother another Critter family for his 5th birthday so their families can be neighbors.
These are wonderful toys, very cute and well-made. Their arms and legs move, and their little outfits are adorable. The only difficulty we've had so far is in tying the tiny outfit ties when they come undone (such as the baby twins' miniscule outfits that are tied with tiny bows). They are quite durable, just as the 80's versions were (and are). I highly recommend them for any child who has a good imagination and who loves pretend play with families.

Calico Critters Townhome Review

Average Reviews:

My daughter received this house for her eighth birthday and loves it. I've seen a lot of reviews from people who bought it for a 2-year-old, which I don't understand, because all of the play pieces that go with it would present a choking hazard for such a young child. That said, the only limitation I see is that the rooms could be a little bigger, but that's my observation, not my daughter's. She has no complaints whatsoever. She doesn't do much playing inside the house. Her play mostly involves deciding where everything should go, setting it all up, and shuffling it around until it's just right.
People with limited storage/play space will appreciate the manageable size of this piece. My friend's daughter has a gigantic Barbie castle that looms over any room he puts it in and take up all the space in the room when it's open and being played with. This is a more reasonable size and just as much fun.
The house seems sturdy enough for normal play, and the lights that really light up are very cool. Some people have dogged this product in their reviews, but I think it's a neat little house. More importantly, my daughter really likes it and uses it.
