Syllvanian Families starter

My 4 yr old DD has just asked for surprises and when I was looking at her presents I realised she didn't have much to actually play with.

I was thinking of a Sylvanian Families set, ideally one with some bits and pieces (not tiny bits as she has a 1 yr old sister and ideally not huge). I was looking at the cosy cottage. Is this the best one to get? Is there any other sets you'd recommend?

The cosy cottage is a great starter.

The caravan and the lighthouse are also great, but more pricey.I

You could also get a wee cot and a baby blind bag.

It's horrible idea. I was there. It's most collectable thing I can think about. I remember being in a Sylvanian families shop when my daughter was about 4. It NEVER ends. I suppose you could resell later on.
Anything collectable by children I deem a no-no.

I was looking at the cot with the bunny baby to go with it! The cot is cute!

Better - That is a bit of a worry of mine. Either she won't be that into it or we'll end up needing a bigger house Confused

Well, it is very collectable. But that's half the fun. I love it as much as my Dds do - possibly more Blush

So, I've bought her the cosy cottage and the cot with the baby rabbit! It looks really cute. Hope she likes it!

that sounds cute! And a good idea to get a starter so if she likes it you can add to it or if not resell. although my dds have always used the same houses for all their figures/toys. mine are currently using the rubber duck nativity set and funko pop figures in the enchantimals house. sylvanian furniture/houses are perfect for LOL dolls if you end up getting conned into those in the future 😁

Does anyone have a discount code or good website recommendation?

Gumtree for this stuff can be hit or miss

Just sold all ours. I was do glad to see the back of it!

Well the cosy cottage was a huge hit! Definitely the toy she's played with the most.
