The most obvious place to find them is, of course, the Sylvanian Families UK Official Online Store (UK) or the Calico Critters (USA) online store.

Before I go on to telling you all about some awesome places to find Sylvanians, the best place to buy them is your local toy shop. If it’s safe at the moment for you, go out and support a local business. They may even have a website, like my local toy shop does, Toyland (UK).

This last item is a little trickier to find. These are the super cute, but rare, miniature blind boxes. With each box you get a section of a tiny figure and a section of a teeny house. Oshoppu (UK) and Sylvanian Families Specialty Store (Australia) have some in stock.

Enjoy searching for Sylvanians!
