Sylvanian Families are the beloved collectible animal figures and playsets created by Japanese toymaker Epoch in 1985. Built around three values — nature, family and love — every figure, house and accessory is designed to inspire open-ended imaginative play for children aged 3 and up. With poseable limbs, soft flocked fur and intricate detailing, Sylvanian Families have earned a devoted following among Australian kids, parents and adult collectors alike.
Choose from dozens of animal families, each with their own personality and backstory. Popular families in our range include the Chocolate Rabbit Family, Persian Cat Family, Fennec Fox Family, Koala Family, Hedgehog Family, Penguin Family, Reindeer Family and Flora Rabbit Family — plus babies, twins and individual figures to grow any collection.
Bring the world of Sylvania to life with connectable homes, furniture sets and themed playsets. From the iconic Red Roof Country Home and cosy starter cottages to village shops, nursery buses and outdoor adventure sets, every piece is scaled to work together so children can build an entire miniature village over time.
Sylvanian Families encourage storytelling, role-play and social skills through gentle, screen-free play. The detailed accessories help develop fine motor coordination, while creating scenes and narratives builds language, empathy and problem-solving. Durable construction means sets last through years of play — and often get passed down to younger siblings.
