Amazon.com Hands-On Review

Give your children and their Calico Critters a charming place to play with the Calico Critters Townhome. A sturdy hinge lets children enjoy the home whether it's open or closed, and the staircase can be moved to stand both inside and outside the home. Four large rooms provide plenty of space for play, while a slim divider creates a handy fifth room for any extra company. Plus, the floor can be expanded to create more play space, and two lights inside the house can be turned on or off for extra authenticity.

Townhome Offers a Luxurious Way to Play House
The Calico Critters Townhome is packed with opportunities for pretend play. With charming design and detail, this home's four rooms and balcony let children put their furry friends in a variety of fun settings, from baking in the kitchen to sunning on the balcony.

Spacious Rooms for Furniture and Friends
Thanks to its rounded frame and high ceilings, this two-level townhome has enough space to accommodate the whole Calico Critters family. Four large rooms let you set up cozy kitchens and bedrooms with plenty of area left to play. If more furry friends come to stay for a slumber party, a handy rotating wall in an upstairs bedroom can be turned 90 degrees to transform one room into two.

Two battery-powered lamps with working on/off capabilities let children play until lights out, adding extra authenticity.

Held with a sturdy hinge, this townhome can be opened for a bigger play area and easy access to its occupants or left closed to view the Calico Critters nestled in their home.

The Townhome measures 12 x 12 x 12 inches (LxWxH).

Features Extra Flooring and Removable Staircase
For larger Calico Critter gatherings, an expandable hardwood-style floor makes all the difference. You can place the extra flooring piece either on the outside as a patio or inside when the townhome is opened, creating a perfect setting for your child to invite all the furry family for a meal.

For access to its upper floors, the innovative staircase can be attached to both the inside and outside of the townhome. Set it when the house is opened so the Calico Critters can scurry to and from the bedrooms, or put it on the outside for access to its upper decks.

A Charming Design with Homey Touches
Each area of this townhome is crafted with thoughtful detail, the signature of all Calico Critters toys. From the hardwood-style floors to the terracotta-style roof, each part of this adorable abode invites children to pretend play independently or with friends. With its Victorian charm and elegance, the Calico Townhome offers a place that is both comfortable and charismatic. Your child's Calico Critters will look right at home peeking through the rounded window panes or lounging on the second story's private deck.

5.0 out of 5 stars My 8-year-old loves it., November 28, 2008

This review is from: Calico Critters Townhome (Toy)

My daughter received this house for her eighth birthday and loves it. I've seen a lot of reviews from people who bought it for a 2-year-old, which I don't understand, because all of the play pieces that go with it would present a choking hazard for such a young child. That said, the only limitation I see is that the rooms could be a little bigger, but that's my observation, not my daughter's. She has no complaints whatsoever. She doesn't do much playing inside the house. Her play mostly involves deciding where everything should go, setting it all up, and shuffling it around until it's just right.

People with limited storage/play space will appreciate the manageable size of this piece. My friend's daughter has a gigantic Barbie castle that looms over any room he puts it in and take up all the space in the room when it's open and being played with. This is a more reasonable size and just as much fun.

The house seems sturdy enough for normal play, and the lights that really light up are very cool. Some people have dogged this product in their reviews, but I think it's a neat little house. More importantly, my daughter really likes it and uses it.

4.0 out of 5 stars Quality, Timeless Fun, July 2, 2006

Debra K "Mom" (Webster Groves, MO United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calico Critters Townhome (Toy)

The Town Home is a fine addition to your Calico Critters collection. My daughter got this when she was 2 to go with the mouse family and kitchen set. She then got the baby bedroom and twins...although all of the furniture will not fit in each room, she has always had a fun and easy time playing with it. She puts some of the furniture in the rooms and then plays with a lot of it out in front...the lights are great, it's been very durable and easy for her to open/close and set up herself. Although it's smaller (there are bigger homes if you're purely concerned about space), it's a great option at this price point. She's about to turn 3 and will be getting more!

1.0 out of 5 stars SO SMALL!!!, December 11, 2006

By 

Mona Lisa Marie (Winchester, TN) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Calico Critters Townhome (Toy)

I bought this townhouse for my daughter last Christmas with high expectations. Man, was i disappointed!!!! Okay, it IS incredibly cute. The pictures on the box make it look perfect, and if that's all you were gonna do with it--look at it--this house would be great. But if you actually want to PLAY with it, which, i'm assuming, is essentially the purpose, then you're just outta luck with this house. There is just NO WAY to fit anything in this house....it's just too small! It's too small in 2 ways: 1) not enough rooms in the house and 2) not enough room in each room--you can't fit all your furniture in there--much less little hands. We mostly just use our Calico furniture out on our dining room table. I'd recommend purchasing a REALLY BIG doll house if you actually want to play with the Critters IN the house. Of course, Calico Critters company doesn't make ANY of their houses big enough, so you'd have to go with a completely different brand of house. That's what i plan to do.
