The Cottontail Rabbit family set is the first Calico Critter set I bought for my daughter.... oh, I'll be honest.... they were for me as much as for her. And they are absolutely darling. I'm not really into collectibles, but these little guys are so cute they make you want more.

As other reviewers have mentioned, they seem to be really well made. Their tiny little outfits can be taken on/off and traded with other critters' clothes. The outfits have tiny little buttons, lace, and ribbons (I had trouble retying Sorrel's apron with my big fingers). The boys' clothes even have holes in the back for their little tails to poke out.

Their little heads, arms, and legs all bend. They all have really cute features and the fuzzy bodies are great.

My daughter is only two and a half (under the recommended age), so I have to help her dress the dolls. She loves to take their clothes off herself, though :-) The furniture and play sets all have tiny pieces and with a two year old and a soon to be mobile infant, I've decided to pack away all of the tiniest accessories for a few years. The dolls and the bigger pieces of furniture seem to be safe for my daughter and the baby, though.

The Cottontail family is living in my daughter's Little People house right now and, although it isn't a perfect fit, they seem comfortable for the time being..... while I try to refrain from buying one of the Calico Critters houses.

Nice, but when taking off the clothes which my 4 year old daughter likes to do, the strap on the trousers broke on the second time playing with it. The clothes are too tiny for me to mend, Otherwise my 4 yr old and 2 yr old LOVE playing with them, they are cute!

Best Deals for Calico Critters Cottontail Rabbit Family

We got the Cottontail Rabbit Family for my daughter and she loves them. They are cute and pretty durable (unlike our grandparent fisher cats). My only con with the family is that some of the clothing (especially for the girls) could have been made with a little piece of velcro to keep it on the critter. Instead, they have tiny ribbon for you to tie around the neck or waist (for aprons), which is nearly impossible to tie without tying it into a knot. The company put velcro to close the backs of trousers and dresses, so I don't see why they can't put a little piece on the aprons and the little girl rabbit's dress too.

Overall this is a wonderful toy and I'd purchase it again.

Honest reviews on Calico Critters Cottontail Rabbit Family

I loved these when my daughter first got them for Christmas. They were pretty, their arms, legs, and heads moved, and the little clothes were "oh so adorable". Two weeks later they were naked bunnies, and it's not just the fact that my child didn't have the dexterity required to put the clothes back on, she had loved them, and played with them so much the short velveteen type fur had all rubbed off, and they became naked plastic as well. They got dirty easily, the clothing was all lost very quickly, and they became quite ugly. About two months after she received them, my daughter sent the bunny family permanently to the toy tote where they stayed for a very long time without being played with.

These would be super for a child around the age of nine, who can get their clothes on and off without mommy help, and will display them more than play with them. They need a child who will not love them to death in as short a time as my six year old did.

I have to say, that all the Calico Critters Animals are so nicely done that there isn't any you could buy that you wouldn't like. I would like to have some for myself to play with and I'm much older than who I bought these for. Might be going on my Xmas list !
