Seaside Ice Cream Shop
When I returned to collecting Sylvanians, I was not a fan of this shop because to me it looked like it didn't belong in Sylvania ie it didn't have a red roof! The yellow, blue and pink looked garish and the big ice cream looked tacky. However thanks to my eldest daughter, I began to see items in the new range through the eyes of a child. She loves ice cream, as soon as she saw that big ice cream she was excited and I realised that actually if it had been released when I was a child collector I'd have probably loved it too because we always did love it when something just a bit different came out. Now that I've played with it with my daughter I can see the appeal as a toy- that fact that you can scoop balls of ice cream and put them on cones- amazing! We made an eight scoop ice cream the other day!!
I wasn't sure who would run the shop to start with (I decided that Amelia Sandy who came with it wouldn't) but when I thought about my families that needed a home I realised the Buttercup family would be a perfect fit and they moooved in straight away.
