Calico Critter babies love to spend time in the pretty Play House with a windmill on top. They can enjoy a delicious meal or take a nap after spending time at the playground. Unique "build on" features allow children to add rooms, such as the Baby Bathroom, that are specially designed to fit. The house comes with more than 20 furniture pieces and accessories, a detachable roof, a balloon that goes up and down, and a rotating windmill and ceiling mobile. “Their popularity continues to grow,” Sue Tice of International Playthings told TDmonthly about Calico Critters. Launch date: February 2006.
— As of spring 2007, Calico Critters were one of Owner Fred Rosenberg’s two best-selling lines in the “imagination” category at his store, On the Park, in Kingwood, Texas.
