Calico Critters Norwood Mouse Family
The Norwood Mouse Family (known as the Maces family in Sylvanian Families) is one of the most popular Calico Critters family sets.
There is something about this family that just oozes cuteness and it was this little family that started my daughter (and I-who am I kidding here?) on the road to loving the Calico Critters.
Who Are The Norwood Mouse Family?
Father Chester-Cheddar, Mother Brie, Brother Colby and Sister Nibbles. Father Chester-Cheddar, known as “CC”, owns the local newspaper and stationery shop.
The rest of his family keeps “busy as mice” helping him run the store!
The two twins, Norman and Nellie, spend most of their time scribbling on spare paper.
In Sylvanian Families, the Maces family run the Applewood Department Store and there are also a set of grandparents available.

We have not actually opened this toy yet. We are starting a collection for my daughter so she has lots of them to play with when she is old enough. At 17 months she loves carrying the box around.

My daughter loves Calico critters animals, and she plays with them very carefully. To that end, the Norwood family is a great neighbor to all the other families we’ve got. But I did have to fix many things once her friends came over and played with those: kids who are a little less careful find it difficult playing with those without tearing little parts off. I would say it is a great toy for kids who are around 5 and have good small motor skills, but not for younger kids (although I must admit my younger one is 4 and has been playing with those since she was 2.5)

My grandma and parents bought me this set along with the Whiskers Cat Family and a few of the Calico Critter twins sets. These completely posable, fuzzy, dressable, and lovable creatures are the best toys you can find anywhere! I am almost 12 years old and I spend hours playing with these little guys in my dollhouse. My parents even enjoy them too! If I could reccommend the best toy for kids, Calico Critters would definitely have to be my choice!

I loved these as a child. I just bought them for my daughter. She is still a little to young to play with them so I am saving them for when she is older. I am so happy I found them on Amazon. The price is great, and you can’t beat no tax and free 2 day shipping with Amazon Prime. I plan to buy many more sets for her.

My daughter has played with the 80’s version of the Calico Critters at Grandma’s from age 3 on up, and was delighted when she received this mouse family for her birthday. She loves imaginative play and has made a beautiful homemade shoebox house for her little mice, including furniture made from household odds and ends. She is getting her brother another Critter family for his 5th birthday so their families can be neighbors.
These are wonderful toys, very cute and well-made. Their arms and legs move, and their little outfits are adorable. The only difficulty we’ve had so far is in tying the tiny outfit ties when they come undone (such as the baby twins’ miniscule outfits that are tied with tiny bows). They are quite durable, just as the 80’s versions were (and are). I highly recommend them for any child who has a good imagination and who loves pretend play with families.
