My daughter started collecting them aged 4, with Beechwood Hall. She's now approaching aged 10 and they are still a firm favourite. My 8 year old son enjoys playing with them too, and they create whole worlds together with shops, tree houses, the hospital, camper van - this list goes on and on. So we were delighted to be asked to review the Sylvanian Families Candy Wagon -
My daughter swiftly went to work setting it all up. The picture above shows the completed set in it's entirety.
As you would expect, it has all the detail and quality you expect from a Sylvanian Families product. Gorgeous little boxes of treats, a wagon, a stand, an abundance of vibrant lollipops and adorable little sweet dispensers. Be warned though, this set is not for the younger Sylvanian fan as there are lots of very tiny pieces, which were a delight for a child my daughter's age. Her favourite pieces by far were the little treat bags that come with tiny clips and you can fill with the product of your choice (pictured below). She was absolutely enchanted with them.
Once she was set up, lots of her own Sylvanian Families (the set itself does not come with any figures - these are sold separately) wanted to visit.......
She set up her Ice Cream cart, garden swing & items from the Toy Shop & Nursery (all our own, also from the Sylvanian Families range) and it wasn't long before we had a host of Sylvanian families queueing around the block for the Candy Wagon........
It really is a lovely addition to any Sylvanian collection and a perfect gift for any child. My son, who is 8 years old, wanted to add that he would give it 5 stars out of 5 and that Sylvanian Families are perfect for both boys and girls and are something that the whole family can play with.
