Has anyone heard of these? Own these? Used to own these? I used to have Calico Critters when I was younger but my parents got rid of them. I looked them up and they are pretty pricey but Target has their brand called L'il Woodzeez that are much more affordable. I know LO1 would love these and was thinking of getting her a set for Christmas. I am curious about the quality of the "off brand" ones, and also wondering if any other stores carry a similar idea.

I love calico critters! I have a few families from when I was little (I think they were sylvanian families then?) And lo loves them! I bought her a few families on Zulily for Christmas and I might look for a house too. I've never seen the brand from target but I'll check it out. You can sign up for an alert on Zulily that'll let you know if they come back.

My 2 year old has calico critters (got them for her first birthday) and she has pretty much ignored them. I think the Lil' Woodzees look more younger-kid friendly (rounded edges, etc), while the calico critters are geared more to a little older. I will probably reintroduce them this year and see if she's more interested in playing with the characters in the house.

@JerricaBenton: Good to know, thank you!

I have heard that Lil Woodzees are a little better for little kids and Calico of older. I am really interested in them for my daughter but I think she is still too young but I am keeping my eye out for when she is older, they look so sweet!

@Mrs. Chocolate: and the price is a little more friendly

I'd never heard of them but DD spotted the little Woodzees at target the other day and told me she "needed"them.
-
@PinkElephant: haha your LO does that too?

We have our 3 year old Calico Critters for her Birthday, she loves them. She is still a little young though. I'm also curious about the Target brand.

I played with Calico Critters when I was little (just one of the many toys I wish I still had).
DD is 2 and is just now interested in the Calico Critters I got at a consignment sale. I think it's one of those toys she will enjoy more as she gets older. I didn't know Target had a brand, will have to look into those as stocking stuffers!
