Oh I remember these, my friend Lizette had them and she had a tape and storybook that went with them. The little jingle was so peaceful and quaint. I always loved playing with them and their house.

I had heaps of these. The mole family was my fav. The baby was so small. I made a house from boxes and put all the furniture you could get in there.

My little sister and I ADORED these! We started a collection after my sister found the beaver stranded at the beach. We had the bear family, rabbit family, racoon family. They all lived together in a sort of hippy commune in our over sized doll house. Mum showed us how to make them clothes out of felt. They were a big part of our child hood.

me and my sister collected them and we had everything! we even had a little horse and cart!

The best TOMY toys ever. So special!

ah!!!!!1 i've been trying to teh remember teh name of theis toy for ages! now i know! i loved them so much!

I absolutely loved these growing up!! They were so cute and little. It seemed like they were around one minute and gone the next...boo! Now at least I know what they were :-)

I have lots and lots of these. But I first started my huge collection with just the Bramble Cottage, Village Bakery, The Maces (mouse family), and Heather Thistlethorn about seven years ago, they were selling them in Target for the first time, I was so excited when I saw them in the catalogue because I had heard about these before. They only sold the cottage, the bakery and a few families. A year later me and my mum were in the same Target and I was looking at the Barbies suddenly a sylvanian family pops out of the barbie boxes, I had never seen it before. It was a raccoon family, but no raccoon family I had seen in Sylvanian Families before. I remember them distinctly, they were light brown with grey blotches around there eyes and my mum asked me if I wanted it. I already had a barbie ready to buy and my mum said I could have one or the other stupid me chose the barbie and I hid the raccoons behind lots of boxes the next week I checked and they were gone. I should have lay-byed them since the same family is very, very rare and expensive now. If anyone finds anything similar please tell me via this commenting ring, thanks for reading my long, hopfuly not boring story :) Have a Happy New Year.

I remember these! I had the rabbit family and some furniture.
