We love Calico Critters! We have a Calico Critters table set up in our store and it is always occupied. With an assortment of little Critters, and lots of furniture and accessories, the play we see is so positive and whimsical. We see lots of sharing, turn taking, cooperation and gentle handling of the Critters. They are extraordinarily well made. We’ve had the same little critters and their furniture, out for kids to play with for five years, and nothing has ever broken!
We are always impressed with these little critters. You can build up a whole Calico Critter World by having friends and family add to them every birthday or holiday. And we know that kids (especially girls) play with them until they are 9 and 10 years old. Definitely a timeless toy!!!!
