Oh, my God! I had that toy! That thing had not even been in my mind for YEARS until I just saw this post. '79 to '82 would have put me into the four to seven year old range. Thanks for posting.
Oh my gosh, I had this too! I haven't thought of it in eons! I definitely would not have remembered the name of it. It was so cute. Thanks so much!
I had them, my mom thew them out like. 12 years ago
I still have mine and the book! I LOVED them - especially Milkweed!! :)
I had this toy. The chairs were made of such a soft plactic for some reason I always wanted to bite them
My kids had these sweet little toys. I probably still have some of them in the attic.
I am looking to find the Woodsy Loghouse and the Grandma & Grandpa Set ( I think their house was a tree?)
Anyone interested in selling?
And Stacie, I DID alwasys bite the broom taht came witht he set, something about that plastic!
the log set was my favorite. i thought it was gone forever until a few years ago, it was found at my grandparents house! they thought it was my cousins toy. i squeeled so loudly, it still had the piece of orange yarn tied to the handle with the bucket on it that i put there. i love hearing them suqeak!
I too have been looking for this set. Mine is long gone. This was my favorite toy and I wanted to share it with my daughter!
I loved these guys! I always chewed the furniture!
I loved this log set. I had it in my memory for the longest time but I couldn't remember the name. A friend finally found it for me!!! I chewed on the plastic too!!! Funny.
It was around 1981 when I first got one of these, as did my oldest sister. Back then, we had just moved to Bitburg Air Base in Germany. I had the pilot Woodsey, while my sister had this very set. Man, such memories. And, what I almost would not give to find these again.
I have the Woodsey's Grandma and Grandpa still in the box. FOR SALE!!! karakirk@rocketmail.com
"In the 80s" also has another page on the Woodseys under the plural spelling "Woodsies."
For some reason these came to mind tonight and I was thrilled to find a picture! I had this toy/book, and played with it tons. My dog got a hold of the plastic chair and table. Great memories!!!
This is my favorite. It is one of the only toys that was MINE (I have 4 older sisters) and one of the only ones my mom kept. I read the story to my 4 year old niece often. I love their squeaks!
these toys were my absolute fave toy growing up.i would love the oppurtunity to have a set for my little girl!
I LOVED this toy . My God I Loved this toy!! I feel so many good memories flooding back looking @ the Pic I forgot until Now! I would go Buy a set now @ My age of 33 just to hear them Squeak
I also LOVED these toys and everyone I talk to about it also loved them. I still have Milkweed and the Grandparents but their log house and tree house are missing. I would love to buy some for my son. I think their should be a petition to fisher-price to bring them back!!!
We had tons of these. My Mom stepped on one in the dark once. When it squeeked, she thought it was a real mouse! We still tell that story.
I also have some of mine left, but can't find them all, and would love to complete my set for my Grandkids, I was just sitting here telling my sister, that I "ate" my broom, and my chairs and a few hands had bite marks. Too funny that we all craved that plastic--lol. Also Wal-mart now has toys called wood-zees not as cute, but cute none the less.
I still have mine! How much do they sell for to collectors? All pieces minus the stove!
I have the Grandpa and Grandma set.
i have this toy in great condition and complete! i do have a questions i hope someone can answer, why do some playsets have green sides and some with just yellow? were they made in different years or maybe countries? let me know if u have the answer. ty :)
I saved these sets and very glad I did. My grandson loves them and we read the story books together. I am missing one set. Bramble Beaver plus book. Also missing broom and table lost forever. Anyone selling these items?
I have the full set to sell email me if you are interested kknopp15@shaw.ca
need the furniture for the log house
Who are the people photographed on the back of the box?
Love the woodsies! They were my daughters - I saved them and let my grandchildren play with them and read them the books - Seasons with VB Bird and Lightening Strikes Twice. I would like to add to my collection if anyone is interested in selling some of theirs.
I remember these! I had em and I wish I can find them now..ebay has these but not cheap..i wish I can find this at a flea market
