Product Description

From the Manufacturer

Meet the citizens of Cloverleaf Corners! Adorable Critters come with removable clothing. Family critters are poseable, with jointed arms and legs, and heads that turn. Parents are approx. 3" tall, and brothers and sisters are 2.25 inches tall. The new Furbanks Squirrel Family loves acting and directing. Mother Emma is always rehearsing her lines, while Father Kenneth is known for directing with a big booming voice and dramatic gestures. Brother Douglas is in his own imaginary world of pirates, knights and dragons. His sister Greta is the exact opposite of him - she is quiet and a perfectionist, especially with her acting. Mix and match with other Calico Critters figures.

Product Description

The Furbanks Squirrel Family is very dramatic and loves to perform on stage. Mother Emma is a terrific actress, but insists Father Kenneth is the star of the family.

Another great Calico Critters family! The Furbank Squirrels are really cute.

Like all Critter families, the set comes with a Mom, Dad, Sister and Brother. They all have flocked brown "fur" and fluffy brown tails. Mom and Dad are about 3 1/4" tall, and the kids are about 2 1/2". All their arms, legs and heads move. Dad is wearing green suspender pants with a yellow gingham collared shirt. The shirt has decorative buttons on the front, and a velcro closure on the back. Mom has a cute floral dress with a shawl collar and an attached apron (I REALLY like the dresses with attached aprons, because the apron doesn't get lost, and I don't have to struggle to tie the tiny ribbons to put it back on!). Brother is wearing light green gingham overalls with orange buttons, and Sister sports a green calico dress with straps and red buttons (again, just like mom, I love this outfit because there are NO little ribbons to tie - just a velcro closure). Dad and Brothers' tails stick out above their pants, Mom's tail sticks out through the opening in the back of her dress, and Sister's tail comes out the bottom of her dress. I was a little concerned about the tails. I wasn't sure how sturdy they would be, but we've had this family for a year, and all the tails are still attached and still fluffy. Sometimes it's a little harder to set the Furbank Squirrels on chairs or couches, because the tails get in the way, but they do fit on all the Calico Furniture we have - they just take a little extra manuevering. If you are buying these for a little girl, I might start with a family that doesn't have big bushy tails.

My 8 and 11 year old girls have a lot of fun playing with their Calico Critter families. I love to watch them set up a whole town of dollhouses and start dreaming up a game. Their first families are about 5 years old. All the critters are still in very good shape. Some of the black and white families look a little dingy,and some of the aprons have been lost, but everything else is still great. Just keep them away from your dog!

Bottom Line -you'll be nuts about these squirrels

A Kid's Review

= Durability:3.0 out of 5 stars  = Fun:5.0 out of 5 stars  = Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars 

This review is from: Calico Critters Furbanks Squirrel Family (Toy)

These toys are lots of fun, they are cute, and fairly durable, but if you do not handle them carefully then the fur will come off, for this particular family especially the fur on the tail. They are poseable and their clothes come off, and when you stand them up on a firm. flat surface they will not fall over easily. They are also very tiny, and when you buy the furniture you will need to be careful not to loose all the tiny pieces, or let toddlers or babies play with them without supervision, the small pieces can be swallowed and the child can choke. Overall, if handled with care, this family and all other Calico Critters family and furniture will provide a lot of fun, and should last for many years.
