Where To Buy Sylvanian Families In The UK And How To Ship Worldwide

Sylvanian Families have been around for many years and have won the hearts of people of all ages. Sylvanian Families were designed with the following three concepts in mind: Nature, Love and Family - the word "Sylvan" even means "living in the forest"!

Created in Japan in 1985, these flocking toys (referring to the soft texture of the toys) have inspired imaginations for many years and are still relevant today to teach children and adults valuable life lessons.

The setting for Sylvanian Families is the land of Sylvania, a place with a lot of love and nature. The toys allow children to enter an imaginary world where they can learn about important family values, how to share, and even learn important social skills. They can create their own stories and learn more about what it means to be part of a family or to be a good friend to others.

These delicate and carefully-crafted toys help children learn to share ideas through play, and kids and adults can use their imagination to go on many adventures with their Sylvanian Families.

There is a variety of family sets consisting of different animals, houses for the families, shops to build an entire town in Sylvania, accessories, and furniture like a table or sofa to place within the houses and shops. You can even buy a car to help your family get around Sylvania!

Although Sylvanian Families are available worldwide, the UK stocks a full range of these lovable toy families.
If you or your children want to collect all the Sylvanian Family members, you may have to start looking abroad, specifically at UK Sylvanian Families stores. We can help you order Sylvanian Families from the UK that you might not get anywhere else and ship them worldwide with UK parcel forwarding. 

Sylvanian Families were created in Japan in 1985 and since then, have spread across the world. Different characters, accessories, and furniture are available in other countries, so if you want to collect the complete set, you will have to look outside your own country and check out international online stores, as these toys are sold in over 50 countries.

Certain Sylvanian Family sets are only released in Japan, the UK, and Europe. Even in Mexico, you can find Sylvanian Families exclusive to the country (called "Lindos Ternurines"). Limited Edition sets will also be restricted to particular countries and cannot be found elsewhere unless you purchase them online.

The US and Canadian equivalent to Sylvanian Families are “Calico Critters”, which have slight differences in appearance and are sold by a different company. This can make it confusing for collectors to find local distributors of Sylvanian Families.
 

After becoming popular in Japan in 1985, Sylvanian Families found their way to the UK in 1987. They were awarded "Toy of the Year" three years in a row by the British Association of Toy Retailers - from 1987 to 1989. However, they decreased in popularity thereafter and started disappearing from shelves, making them rare collection items. Luckily, the love for them grew again in the late 1990s.

Since then, these family-friendly toys have been loved by all and have increasingly grown in popularity throughout the years.
Because of the popularity of these toys in the UK, they are available at an affordable price and across a variety of shops - both in-store and online. You can get the full range of family sets, theme pieces and accessories from Sylvanian Families stockists in the UK. This includes the mother, father, babies, furniture, homes and village shops.

You can also find Limited Edition Family Sets or Accessories that are only found in the UK, making them real collector's items.
The UK also stocks a wide range of Sylvanian Family accessories and specialised sets, like the Amusement Park set, the Twins and Triplets sets, the Family Trip and Seaside sets, and the Ready to Play sets.

Unfortunately, not all online toy stores in the UK ship internationally. This means that you will have to get friends and family in the UK to help you with a local shipping address. This is not ideal, so why not sign up for your own free UK shipping address? This way, we can send your parcel directly to you anywhere in the world. 

You can trust in a smooth delivery process when you use us to forward your Sylvanian Family order from the UK. You'll enjoy clear communication on your expected delivery date so you can put your feet up and wait for your delivery to arrive.
