The Seaside Cruiser House Boat connects with all sorts of products from The Cosy Cottage Starter Home and Beechwood Hall, to the Seaside Restaurant, Forest Nursery, Adventure Treasure Ship, Toy Shop, Canoe Set and even the Swan Boat Set. Having discovered Sea Breeze Cape just a few months ago, the Sylvanians are still excitedly exploring their wonderful new beach with its beautiful sandy shores. Daughter Mandy loves writing letters, whether it’s handmade birthday cards or store bought Christmas cards, she fills them with heart warming messages and sends them on their way.

It’s not just the houses that are connectable, you can also connect the Supermarket to the Toy Shop, which itself connects to the Sweet Store, so you can create your own unique village high street. The Supermarket is extra versatile in that it can also be attached to the Cosy Cottage Starter Home, Cedar Terrace, and Maple Manor when it’s already connected to the Toy Shop. Why just have a few Sylvanian shops when you can recreate the whole Sylvanian high street? And you can even combine your shops and properties to make a giant Sylvanian dwelling! Make Sylvanian Families part of your Easter celebrations with these impeccably detailed collectables… And then there’s the Splash and Play Whale – this has a spinning spout at the top, and there’s even a mini whale swing, which looks as though it would be great fun. The Splash and Play Whale can cleverly sit on top of the Adventure Treasure Ship, creating an even bigger seaside playground! What a lovely place for the little tykes to play! The Brightfield Goats are bouncy folk with big eyes, kind faces, cream fur and long, quizzical looking ears! The Striped Cat Family has pointy ears, pale cream noses, light brown fur, and dark brown markings.

Sylvanian Families Easter egg hunt

In the woods of Sylvania, there’s always something going on, from Freya playing hide and seek with Coco, to Ralph climbing trees to see if he can get to the highest branch. The Cosy Cottage Starter Home comes furnished and includes; a table, two chairs, a bed complete with mattress and bedding, a kitchen unit (with sink), a bench, and a ladder to aid Sylvanians scurrying between floors. The best part of Christmas is giving presents – don’t you agree? I spend nearly the whole year finding that perfect gift just so it will light up someone’s day at Christmas. Seeing their face shining with excitement as they open their gift is what Christmas is all about.

We’ve had a crazy Easter so far. This year we celebrated at home with the whole family. We had gifts, a visit from the Elf (he’s not just for Christmas you know!), and a few Easter egg hunts – thank you Co-op for sending us so many supplies! If the surrounding meadows and fields of Sylvania aren't enough, then you’ll be pleased to hear that this snug abode has its very own secret garden. Just pop out the top floor of the property and flip it over for an instant outdoor space for your Sylvanians to frolic in.

The Supermarket is available from major retailers such as Argos. You can buy it here: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2054377.htm I’ve always fancied camping at the beach – with the sound of the waves soothing Grandma Chocolate and I to sleep. Well now there is a special Seaside Camping Set! Tiffany just loves the great outdoors so she’s been spending a lot of time outside now that this lovely tent is here! Mother Nancy is a quilter extraordinaire and can make anything from clothes to curtains. She even holds ever popular sewing classes for crafty mums and their daughters.

Not only that, but they’re thrilled with the way all the products can fit together. Because various Sylvanian products are designed to be connectable so that some of them can be placed horizontally or vertically on top of each other, letting you build your own Sylvanian world. Sister Rose is as pretty as a picture, just like her mother, she’s a little different from her twin sister Lily, but they have the same taste in clothes, and often swap togs, making them difficult to tell apart. Lily is good at sports just like her parents, and loves to shop! Little Baby Peppermint is a social butterfly, making new friends at the drop of a hat. She’s also active and loves playing on seesaws. Did I tell you that several new families just moved into Sylvania?! I’ll bet you can’t wait to meet them, find out more about them here. Father Simon Sandy is sporty as anything, and especially loves marine sports. Whenever he can, he takes his family to spend time at the summer house beside the seaside. He takes advantage of the weather in summer, teaching marine sports to the little ones at Sea Breeze Cape. The smaller members of the Fenton litter includes baby Poppy who loves to dress up and twins Marley and Shiloh. Marley loves his trumpet, especially accompanying Sadie on piano and Shiloh wants to be just like her big sister Sadie when she grows up.

Did I mention that it’s our birthday this year? We turn 30 years young and we’re going to spend so much time celebrating, it’s only fair that we have this lovely Seaside Birthday Party. It even comes complete with birthday cake - yum! Everyone likes to take a little trip in the Easter holidays – and Sylvanian Families are no exception! This charming campervan is full of fun for exciting Sylvanian family trips.
