What is it
The Red Roof Cosy Cottage is a beautiful house in the perfect size for both beginners and avid Sylvanian Families collectors. With its red roof and beige brick exterior, this quaint two floor cottage includes a ladder to connect the upstairs and downstairs. As well as coming complete with Freya the Chocolate Rabbit Girl and a selection of starter furniture, the set also comes with smaller accessories such as a frying pan, fork, dish and omelette. The panel that divides the two floors is detachable and doubles as an additional garden area. The set can connect to either Sweet Raspberry Home, Red Roof Country Home, or both!

What our experts think
The Cosy Cottage is a great way of introducing children to the wonderful Sylvanian Families, or for expanding their collection. These sets are fantastic for encouraging imaginative play and developing storytelling skills as children act out and verbalise different adventures.
We liked that the cottage can be set up in several ways with the detachable floor and that additional characters can be added. It was great to watch the children role-playing with Freya the rabbit and the friends, and the home setting promoted discussion around jobs and roles around the home. This helps children to understand different responsibilities as well as develops their communication and cooperation skills.
