Biscuits bears, brother and sister, as Paddington and Winnie the Pooh. Outfits done by an Etsy artist but I did add the threads to close the duffle-coat and craft the little tag.
Honey pot printed by my dad and to be painted.
I’m soooo in love with them.
Today I made a pizza for my Sylvanians. They love hot pizza. I use cold porcelain dough to create various little dishes.
i don't remember when i got this and i didn't keep the packaging sadly 😿
I may customise the house to be pink but I’m pretty happy with it 🥰
My fiancé bought me my first ever Sylvanian Family! I have wanted one since I was a kid and I am so happy. I got one of the new blind bags ♡
I was delighted to get the amethyst one. Does anyone know if she has a name?
I can't wait to continue my collection!!! ♡
Hi! I just ordered the baby mermaid castle set, expecting it to contain 2 baby critters with star tattoos on their cheeks (see second image). When I opened the set, there were only two critters, with no cheek tattoos/ stars (see first image).
Have I been duped, or are there multiple variations of this set? I’m so confused…
Thanks!
I got this picture from Instagram. The poster didn’t think it’s SF. I don’t think it’s Baerenwald. Perhaps a very old SF? I don’t even know what kind of animal they are. Looks like a cross between a boar, bear and mouse. Thank you!
A baby elephant with a bag of peanuts. He's pretty pleased about that.
Here's a concept I drew out out for a Sylvanian Barn Owl Family!
Ophelia Hollow is a wise potion maker, she spends her days running an apothecary shop and teaching her little one. She loves the smell of fragrant herbs and the dim lights of candles.
Theodore Hollow is a beloved professor. He can always be found with a good book, cozied up with his family. He believes there's always more to learn.
Woodsy Hollow is a curious little fellow. His favorite words are What? Why? and How? He wants to follow in both of his parents footsteps.
I love when the couples aren't an exact copy of each other, so Theodore has darker feathers. I'm not a huge fan of the existing Sylvanian Owl designs, the old ones look intense and the new ones are not very owl-ish. I also wanted to give them real outfits, I imagine their body type is like the penguins, just with feathers on the wing. The feet would be plastic like the penguins as well.
I went for an academic aesthetic for them, with far more detail then I think a regular family would get, but I can dream.
Let me know what you think! And what families you wish they made!
J’ai l’habitude de me choisir deux (ou trois si triplés) Sylvanian de « soutien émotionnel » différents chaque jour. Aujourd’hui, j’ai choisi Nolan Flora et Marius Willow en me disant qu’ils allaient bien ensemble avec leurs chemises en vichy, mais je n’avais pas vu qu’ils avaient aussi des bretelles assorties 🩵
Haha I got a fun mishmash of toys here- honeybee acres and littlest pet shop. Found the littlest pet shop playsets at the thrift and it was the perfect size for honeybee acres/calico critters. The Barksters run the lower part of the shop and the Purringtons run the upper half. They have one employee - the lil bunny, Coco who is secret girlfriends with the kitty named Zoe 🫶🏻🎀✨
This is my first ever custom of a Sylvanian Family/ Calico Critters item! I wanted the house to be decorated to the bakery accessory set. Let me know what you think!!
As the title says, I could really use help identifying where these dresses come from! They're from a job lot on eBay, and I'm trying to match them up with their owners.
I've spent ages sitting with the wiki and google images to no avail, so if anyone could help I'd be very very grateful - tearing my hair out here!
What are some of your favorite places online to buy that ship to US quickly? I am wanting to purchase some for my daughter’s birthday and I want to get families/sets she hasn’t seen in stores around us!
Thanks in advance!
If you have ever had a morbid curiosity of what your favorite critter looks like with no fur and body, here it is.

Photos 4-7 Autopsy on the Citrus Bird Adult. This is really cool! If you can see under the flocking the texture of the plastic is like that of a lemon or orange. Epoch went all in on the Citrus theme lol! It is also interesting that they molded separate beak and feet pieces which are not flocked. The green on the top of the head and the white under the beak/cheeks are painted white. The body is two piece injection molded plastic, which I am not a big fan of. It definitely makes disassembling it more difficult.
Photo 8-9: Close up of the FF Owl. I really love the sculpt of the Forest Families and the Owl is one of their best. It blows my mind they were able to get great detail without the use of computers. Its also a shame that we will probably never know who those awesome toy makers and sculptors were. If you are out there I salute you!
Photo 10: FF Frog. Another amazing sculpt from Simba. RIbbit!
If anyone is curious, I am not taking these apart just for the fun of it. I plan to cast these into molds for making and customizing future critters.
Bonus Photo 11: Any example of a custom I did earlier this year. FF Frog Child head on SF mouse body. As many know the FF Child bodies have non-moveable arms, so I made a version that does. As you can see he is unflocked as frogs do not have fur. Trust me, I looked it up. His name is Jalapeño. Pronounced, Jah-lop-ah-no. It is an inside joke my friend made.
Happy crafting everyone!
Hi I thrifted these bears I assumed were Sylvanian families today but I’m not too sure now
So the previews for the Autumn/Winter releases are out (these are from Sylvanian Storekeeper's 'Coming Soon' page, and the UK insta account has also been posting about some of these sets over the last few days), and I can't help but really dislike the packaging (and the prices, but that's a discussion for another day 🤨) in comparison to the Japanese versions. Like, why have they done away with the super pretty purple for the fairy range, and the intricate pattern on the elegant furniture set?! And what's with the ugly yellow strip along the bottom??? It's literally printing ink - there's no way it costs more to print a nice design on the box, so I just do not understand the logic?! 😭
On a related note, and I think it needs to be someone who can read Japanese to answer this - what type/style is the font on the Japanese packaging - would it be considered fancy or stylish? Because on the global ones, it's just Comic Sans which is like as basic as you can get, and is very much a considered children's font (or at least it was the one we all used to use when making posters on Word in primary school back in the early 2000s 😅). This really intrigues me, as from the perspective of someone who can't read Japanese, it always looks fancy to me!
Hi everyone! Does anyone know of a resource available that lists all the ponies/horses that have been released in sets over the years, which set they belong to and the pony names? I found this at a car boot sale today and I’m wondering where it originally belonged.
Thanks!
I was thrilled when I got this little panda mummy, it was cuter than expected! However, I realized that a lot of the details of the wound up bandages could not be seen. So I tried to make it a little more realistic and now I need something to make a haunted house out of 😂 In the third picture, what do you think Reggie Midnight the magician-in-training is discussing with Erin Pookie? 🎃
