Calico Critters Red Roof Cozy Cottage – Dollhouse Playset with Figures, Furniture and Accessories for Ages 3

We already had the Cozy Cottage Starter House, but since this Red Roof Cozy Cottage stacks with the Red Roof Country Home, we decided to get this too. It is a cute little house. I like the addition of shutters and a little almost balcony on the top floor. The stairs, though very simple, are also a step up (no pun intended) from the rung ladder included with the old version. It also has side doors on both the top and bottom floors,with a removable railing for the top. That makes it connect to the rooms in the bigger house. The upper level floor is removable. Unlike the old version, it doesn’t flip over to a grassy surface. But that is because it has a place for a (not included) light to be installed. So I guess there is a pro and con there. The furniture and figure that comes with each is identical, which is unfortunate. It would be nice if they had changed it up. The houses are different colors. The old version matches the Red Roof Townhouse better while this goes with the Cozy Cottage and Sweet Raspberry Home. But they are all close enough that they look good together. This size house is good if you are just getting started with Calico Critters and don’t want to invest a lot of money. You can find out if your kids will actually enjoy these toys first. It won’t hold much in the way of extra furniture, so don’t bother spending money on those of this is the only house you are getting. But we highly recommend this house and all the Calico Critters toys.
