Just looking through the catalogue makes me so happy. I'd love to buy the gelato shop. In fact to have the whole department store would be amazing.
Dd(4) loves playing with them and they are definelty hers but I do sometimes think about putting it all together properly when she's at school. With all the little cakes on the right plates etc.
This is what lockdown has done to me!!!!! 😂😂

Of course they are for adults! I mean why else would I have ordered a special edition Marshmallow mouse baby from the Sylvanian park in Japan to go with DD's Sylvanian family? 🤐

😂😂 gald its not just me! I do the same with playmobil Smile

Hauskat · 03/07/2020 15:22

Def for adults. Same with most of DD’s cuter toys. She plays with bugs.

Pipandmum · 03/07/2020 15:24

Yes I definitely had more fun searching Ebay for them than my daughter ever did playing with them!

SnackBitch2020 · 03/07/2020 15:24

DO IT! Grin

Check out forestfr1ends on Facebook. It's hilarious and uses silvanian families

I love sitting on DDs little chair at night and rearranging her house,car, caravan campsite and lodge. It's my happy place. I've said no more bug things though as we havent the space.

weepingwillow22 · 03/07/2020 15:27

It is times like these I wish I had a daughter. I got all my childhood sylvanian families down from the attic but have failed to interest either of my sons.

Remember Dollshouse Downton on youtube?

Breastfeedingworries · 03/07/2020 15:33

Omg I’m so like this with my dds toys! Set up all her teddies for picnics ect. She’s only 19 months so not quite into Sylvanian families but I’ve already bought her a starter house and two families 🙈🤣 she’s been role playing and things for quite awhile so I’m hoping by 2 I can crack them out 😁

iklboo · 03/07/2020 15:34

Follow Forest Fr1ends on Facebook (blimey that was alliterative. DEFINITELY for adults Grin

delilabell · 03/07/2020 15:46

I used to ask for Sylvanian families every Christmas and birthday and never got a single bit. (Mam said I would lose the tiny bits.) I used to pour over the catalogues; there was a little toilet with a little flush! And a shop with loads of tiny bits!
I don’t want kids and the only bit aspect of that which is sad is that I don’t have an excuse to buy SF as an adult.
Not bitter at all, nope.

No. We have the supermarket and the department store (as well as a couple of houses and the nursery thanks to generous grandparents), and Sylvanian Families cannot go shopping nicely. They rampage through the shops, scattering food everywhere, knocking over the shelves, spreading the tiny cakes/ fruit/ ice creams in their homes/ car/ over the floor in between the buildings and it takes me for fucking ever to tidy up so the pieces don't end up in the hoover.

Ohhhhh the department store is my dream.
When I was little I had quite a bit of it including the barge which I miss. I ALWAYS wanted the mansion. Never got it.

I love all stuff like this. I hate it when the kids mess my toys up really upsets me Grin I spend ages putting I back perfectly

Annasgirl · 03/07/2020 16:22

Oh I totally loved playing with these with (and without) DD. We now have them all stored carefully in the attic - I hope one day DD has her own DD so we can take them down and play again. Although, as she is just 16 I think that will be a long wait. Enjoy your time with the Sylvanians while it lasts ladies.

Toddlerteaplease · 03/07/2020 16:22

Of course it's for adults, some of the prices are so tiny they could never be give. To children. Grin

Michaelbaubles · 03/07/2020 16:27

We have the gelato shop and it is indeed lovely!

DD has had them for a couple of years (she’s 6) but never played with them how I would call properly until deep lockdown boredom set in and now she has permanent setups all over her floor of grocery shops/cafes/bedrooms etc. Food set out on shelves, beds made, the lot. I love to see it all!

mimbleandlittlemy · 03/07/2020 16:27

My niece sold all her Sylvanians when she grew up, but my sister kept back one family which makes an appearance every year on their Christmas cake in various snowy scenes.

Dk13 · 03/07/2020 16:32

I love them more than any DC possibly could! One day when I have room, I'm going to set them all out on a big table with model railway trees and gravel. I couldn't part with mine so they're boxed up in DM's garage for now

MrsWooster · 03/07/2020 16:39

Not another trans thread?!? 🧛🏻‍♂️

During lockdown cleaning we found my girlfriend's box of keepsake stuff. We spent a happy hour arranging the canal boat to perfection for Mrs Waddlington (me) and Mrs Walnut (her) to live in. Happily, we have no children to interfere - they don't have sufficient manual dexterity or aesthetic sense to enjoy Sylvanians properly, in my view. Adults only.
