Amazon Black Friday 2012 CrittersBlack Friday is the most highly anticipated shopping day of the year.

In recent years the event has garnered legendary status on the Internet as online retailers attempt to outdo each other with the biggest discounts and the best deals.

Amazon is at the forefront of amazing price cuts during Black Friday and their event stretches beyond the day itself and spans a full week of incredible discounts and price cuts.

And it starts today...

From Monday 21st November through to Sunday 28th November there will be amazing discounts on Lego and just about everything else you can imagine (books, toys, CDs, DVDs, Food Processors, sports equipment, computers, etc.).

Products are sometimes discounted at over 40% and lightning deals can appear every hour, and disappear within moments - if you shop online it can be an exciting time!

If you are shopping overseas remember that Calico Critters are known as Sylvanian Families in UK/France/Europe.

We will of course try to let you know if we find any Critter deals but in the mean time you can check out the Amazon.com Black Friday toy deals here.

Countdown To Black FridayThe start of the Christmas shopping season is the day after Thanksgiving, known as Black Friday on the internet.

Amazon have already started having sales leading up to Black Friday (even the sales are having sales!) and there are some amazing savings to be had on a whole range of toys, including Calico Critters.

The sales fall under the banner of Counting Down To Black Friday and you can find the dedicated Toy sales page here.

We've been checking out the specials and have found a few items we like including:

  • Up to 40% Off KidKraft Toys (Play Kitchens, Beds, Doll Houses, Playsets at huge discounts)
  • 20% Off Ravensburger Puzzles
  • Up to 50% Off Crayola
  • Up to 40% Off Kids Galaxy Remote Control
  • Up to 30% OFf Fisher Price Preschool
  • Savings on Leapster Explorer

Amazon Gund BearThere are some good deals on high quality toys (amongst all the junk) and the deals seem to sell-out and change all the time so keep an eye on the page.

Amazon also offers free shipping on orders over $75 which is wonderful especially if you are ordering large items (KidKraft I am looking at you).

As I mentioned in an earlier post, Amazon also have a deal where you can add a Gund Bear to your cart for Free if you purchase $75 worth of certain toys, and there are a great selection including Calico Critters (Clover Leaf Manor), Melissa And Doug and Lego (If you have Lego fans the Mindstorms Kit is a great deal : discounted, with free shipping and a free bear!).

I look forward more deals over the coming weeks and I'll let you know if anything else catches my eye!

Free Amazon Gund Bear With Calico Critters House

2011 Amazon Gund BearAmazon are running an offer that is too “cute” to resist, especially if you or someone in your family loves toys and Teddy Bears.

And that just about covers everyone I know, including me!

With every $75 worth of purchases on select toys Amazon is giving their 2011 Gund Amazon Exclusive Teddy Bear away for free.

The bear normally costs $29 and is has already captured my daughter’s heart – so I’ll probably have to order an extra one for her ;-)

Its a great deal but Amazon does specify the bear is only free if you spend $75 on certain toys, and there are a limited range.

But luckily there happens to be one Calico Critters product - The Calico Critters Clover leaf Manor, one of the biggest and best Critter houses. Amazon will ship the house for free and by adding the Gund bear to your cart you receive that free too.

Check out the full range of toys that includes Leap pad devices, Lego and more as well as a free high-quality Gund bear and free shipping.

Calico Critters Oakwood Home

2011 October 24

Calico Critters Oakwood HomeThe Calico Critters Oakwood Home is the latest house in Cloverleaf Corner and a wonderful addition to the range of Calico Critters Houses available.

Calico Critters Oakwood Home

The Oakwood Home features 3 floors to fill with critters and accessories. The design is straight forward and there are no dividers to make separate rooms on each floor.

While this might seem a negative point, for certain children who like to arrange things their way, the lack of divider means they have more room to move.

With toys this small the separate room layout can sometimes mean hands can't fit in the spaces easily. It is also great for younger kids who don't respond well to fiddly spaces and moving parts.

So in these cases an open layout home works well :-)

The third floor is removable and the floor piece itself can be used in a couple of different ways.

By laying it next to the open back of the house, it can be used to expand the first floor out and increased the amount of playable floor space. Furniture can then spill out beyond the walls of the house and assume the layout of a larger living or play room.

Alternatively you can use the same piece of flooring as a piece of yard. The flooring is designed to look like green grass on the flip side so can fit up against the front of the house and create an outdoor environment for the Critters to play on.

This versatility allows for more space overall as kids can spread the layout beyond the confines of the house but also means you would want to keep this in one space in a child's room and not have to pack it up each time after play.

The house also comes with a small balcony and 2 movable ladders for easy access to each floor. The inside also has wallpaper so that is a very nice touch and one I would love to see repeated on all future Critter houses.

Overall the Calico Critters Oakwood Home is a nice house for those with younger children or who are looking for an open plan home for their Critters. Those looking for a little more character might be better off with the Deluxe Village House or even the Treehouse.
