Sylvanian Families

[Strippervicar]

For DD who is 3.5? She's keener on numbers and has been tested for HFA but so far inconclusive. She likes to swap figures to different environment. Such as the wooden numbers get into the fire engine to have an ice cream or the little bird figures go to school in the dolls house.
If I got the sylvanian families people carrier would it fit into that type of play? Or too small and fiddly.
I'm keen on the collecting element too. She liked the marshmallow mice when we went to the shop. I am not so keen on the price.

My ds who has just turned 3 loves sylvanians. Some of the bits are a bit fiddly - the baby bottles and the plates and cups etc. but I think that may be part of the allure.

I’m not sure if it would fit with your dd’s play. Ds plays in a very similar way but I just assumed it was part of imaginative play that little ones do. His current favourite is putting brio trains to sleep in the sylvanians bunkbeds . Kids are weird.

The sylvanians ds plays with are ones my dm kept from when I was little (about 25 years ago) so they definitely last too.

Her play style is very repetitive and rigid. Someone will show her a game, the ice cream one was shown and then that is what she does with that toy.
She's more into puzzles but I do kind of want something 'girlish' but not so much it scares her off. Hopefully we'll find out. And I am hoping with expansion it might help her imagination. We don't know if is ASC or just traits.

Bought them for my dd when she wa that age, she also has HFA, they never really got played with, the house never got touched, the school bus and fish and chip van hardly got touched and she only played a little with the figures. She preferred puzzles and figures based on her favourite tv programmes rather than random animals.

I think I am going to have to accept that she is going to get a load of puzzles and tv character stuff. (She doesn't actually watch tv, just likes the characters. She gets all agitated at Peppa when they snort.)
Mind you, magnetic letters and paw patrol characters are cheaper.

Some of the wooden puzzles are nice.

My daughter's now 12 and still collects things, we have gone through Peppa pig, Moshi monsters, shopkins and now Pokemon. Construction toys have been a big hit too, Lego, knex etc...
