A couple of years ago a well meaning relative presented one of my daughters with a present from the Sylvanian family. It proved such a hit with both my daughters (aged 5 and 9) that every birthday and Christmas since has been welcoming more and more new additions from this ever growing family. We have been well and truly invaded but they keep my daughters entertained for hours on end. For those who haven't heard of the Sylvanians, they're a collection of tiny toy creatures which currently include animals such as mice, cats, dogs, rabbits, sheep, badgers, hedgehogs, bears and penguins. This is off the top of my head! Generally you purchase the ...  Read the complete review

My daughter has been collecting sylvanian families for sometime now she is now 9 and still enjoys playing with them. We purchased the Sylvanian Families Ice Cream Cart with money she recieved for her birthday, at just under £10 it was a nice price for a child to pay.

The Ice cream cart comes with several ice creams, cones, lollies and pretty little gift boxes, (these are very fiddly little pieces that can very easily get lost and not very easy for litte ...  Read the complete review

There are four ice creams in cups +stands to stand them in, a scoop, 2 little ...  Read the complete review

This was one of the first items of Sylvanians that my daughter owned. The collection was started off by my mum and now we have a huge amount of the stuff which has cost us a small fortue over the last couple of years. I choose to write about the ice cream cart, as its my least favourite set from the sylvanians so far. The set consists of a cart and a stand with umbrella (there are no animals with this, as is often the case with sylvanians, although they will be displayed on the box). Then come the ice creams !! and this is where the problems begin. There are 8 cones and 8 bits of 'ice cream' that have to be fitted into the cones, and then balanced in the ...  Read the complete review
