WHAT IS IT?

A doughnut stall set for use with Sylvanian Families figures. There is no figure included with the doughnut stall set but it's suitable for any adult figure to serve doughnuts.

THE DESIGN

It's an old fashioned wood look stall that looks like the Krispy Kreme stands in Tesco Extra stores. It's an open stand with room to arrange the doughnuts so that they are displayed instead of being piled on each other.  There are 28 pieces in this set including 12 doughnuts and two cakes. As well as the doughnut stand there's a table that can be used for figures to stand up and have a cup of tea. There are two boxes so Sylvanian figures can take their doughnuts away but because they are so small they could be lost easily so my daughter doesn't take them far away.

THE FULL SET

It costs £9.99 and for that you get the doughnut stand and table, 12 doughnuts, 2 cakes, a set of tongs, 2 mugs, 2 takeaway doughnut boxes, a tray with 2 liners, 2 breadsticks, a set of scales, a teapot and 2 plates.

WHAT I THINK

The detail on this set is wonderful even by the usual high standards of Sylvanian Families. You can see the sugar strands on the tiny doughnuts and the little cakes are shaped like teddy bears. This is my favourite small set because it looks so cheerful and every piece in the set is worth having.

My daughter set hers up outside one of the Sylvanian houses and she doesn't ever move it to another area. She doesn't have one figure that she uses with this set but I think the mother Silk Cat looks the best serving doughnuts. The set makes a good tool for imaginative play because the figures have a meeting place and a starting point for conversations and adventures.

The only thing I think is missing from this set is a chair but my daughter uses a high backed chair from another dining set.
