My daughter has played with the 80's version of the Calico Critters at Grandma's from age 3 on up, and was delighted when she received this mouse family for her birthday. She loves imaginative play and has made a beautiful homemade shoebox house for her little mice, including furniture made from household odds and ends. She is getting her brother another Critter family for his 5th birthday so their families can be neighbors.

These are wonderful toys, very cute and well-made. Their arms and legs move, and their little outfits are adorable. The only difficulty we've had so far is in tying the tiny outfit ties when they come undone (such as the baby twins' miniscule outfits that are tied with tiny bows). They are quite durable, just as the 80's versions were (and are). I highly recommend them for any child who has a good imagination and who loves pretend play with families.

My grandma and parents bought me this set along with the Whiskers Cat Family and a few of the Calico Critter twins sets. These completely posable, fuzzy, dressable, and lovable creatures are the best toys you can find anywhere! I am almost 12 years old and I spend hours playing with these little guys in my dollhouse. My parents even enjoy them too! If I could reccommend the best toy for kids, Calico Critters would definitely have to be my choice!

WE BOUGHT THIS MOUSE FAMILY AS A GIFT FOR OUR FOUR YEAR OLD DAUGHTER ALONG WITH THE HOUSE AND ACCESSORIES. SHE ENJOYS PLAYING WITH IT EVERYDAY.IT IS MADE WELL AND IS ADORABLE.

These are VERY cute, but WAY smaller than I thought they'd be. It said they were 6"+, but it turns out that was the size of the box - the critters are only about 2". They don't stand up very well. So, to me, they are more just a cute little 'trinket' than they are something to play house with. I didn't feel like I got much for over $22, but I suppose there is more there than it seems, when you take into account the clothes etc.

My daughter loves Calico critters animals, and she plays with them very carefully. To that end, the Norwood family is a great neighbor to all the other families we've got. But I did have to fix many things once her friends came over and played with those: kids who are a little less careful find it difficult playing with those without tearing little parts off. I would say it is a great toy for kids who are around 5 and have good small motor skills, but not for younger kids (although I must admit my younger one is 4 and has been playing with those since she was 2.5)

We got these along with the Country Market Set for our daughter's 3rd birthday and she immediately fell in love! She isn't a dollhouse, Barbie type of girl, but she loves her animals and these are PERFECT!!! They are SO detailed and just darling!!! A must have for any of the Calico Critters Houses!!

My grandaughter Has so much fun with this set. Her Mother made a house from a box and she loves them she even named them and she is 2.

My parents had gotten my two year old daughter the Cloverleaf Manor and also wanted to pick out a critter family for the house (even though the house can hold every critter known to mankind). My dad carefully made his decision and went with the Norwood Mice. I am glad he did, as I think they are the absolute cutest critter family. The little outfits are old fashioned and adorable. But their little faces...they are just too cute. We also bought the baby Norwood twins as well. My daughter, even though she just turned two, will sit for very long periods of time playing with her house and the critters. Her favorite is putting them to bed and making sure the blankets are covering them up "just so."

My 8 year old and 6 year old daughters love calico critters! They have many other animals, but this mouse family is so adorable!
It is well made, and the cloth they are wearing is so cute too. I am sure this will be their favorite toy for a long time!!

I loved these as a child. I just bought them for my daughter. She is still a little to young to play with them so I am saving them for when she is older. I am so happy I found them on Amazon. The price is great, and you can't beat no tax and free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime. I plan to buy many more sets for her.
