Sylvanian Families Vehicles to Go on Adventures Shirley Darwin carefully draws the plants and flowers her husband brings home each day. Her sketches are so detailed that once it took her over a week to draw a simple buttercup. But thankfully Geoff always thinks his wife’s illustrations are worth waiting for. Now teenagers, they have entrusted their empire to their sister Orla, nine, and it has become her No 1 obsession. These days, you may walk into the bathroom and discover up to 20 little animals gathered round the sink and balanced by the bath – apparently they are at a waterpark. You may go to close a window only to see outside, on the sill, a bunch of bunnies on a camping trip. Returning a book to the shelf, you might be met by a small bear who has moved into the space and set up a shoe shop. Television The ‘Television’ section contains all of our articles related to the small screen. We have a very wide range of content – there’s a strong 80s focus with trivia on EastEnders and Grange Hill, but you can also find articles on popular contemporary TV programmes such as Breaking Bad and The Sopranos. If you fancy something a bit more niche then don’t worry – we’ve also got plenty of content on cult hits such as Twin Peaks, The X-Files and Quantum Leap. Happy hunting!

Girl fans heavily outnumber boys, according to Epoch, and the peak playing age for Sylvanians is five to seven – though I think that’s too young to appreciate the intricate detail and fiddly accessories. At the picnic, Abby Walton and Charlotte Jolly, both 11 and down from Chinnor, Oxfordshire, are among the oldest children.

Jacc Batch, from Kettering, Northamptonshire, is believed to have the world’s biggest collection. Now 29 and star guest at the birthday picnic, he still remembers getting his first Sylvanian aged seven. “I had to go to the doctors so Mum said I could choose something from the toy shop as a treat. I chose hedgehog brother.” It’s not surprising, then, that Orla saw last Sunday’s Sylvanian 30th birthday picnic in Hatchlands Park, Surrey, as a golden opportunity. Their ever-expanding infrastructure seems quintessentially English – the Morris Minor, the canal boat and the red telephone box, Sylvania’s only nod to technology. The names are English, too – Hugh Grunt, the brother pig, Emma Dale, the lamb, Beatrix Spotter, the mummy meerkat. Yet, Epoch says Sylvania could be anytime, anywhere – the word sylvan, from which it’s derived, means “of the forest or woods”. Whether it's a cosy cottage or a treehouse nestled in the woods, there's a perfect setting for every Sylvanian adventure. Let your children's imaginations run wild as they furnish their homes, dress them in charming outfits, and create unforgettable memories.

Photograph: David Bebber/Guardian Next morning, we’re late leaving for school as Orla is lost in Sylvania, balancing bunnies on bikes and sending them off to buy popcorn but I’m trying not to mind. Orla is our last child. When one day she drifts behind a screen, closes her bedroom door and declares herself done with Sylvanians, the whole lot will go to Oxfam. For the first time in years, we’ll be able to walk around the house, without the risk of stepping on a small, hard woodland creature. And that’ll be it. Abby, who is due to start secondary school this September, is finding fewer friends willing to engage in Sylvanian play. “Most have grown out of them and I think it’s really sad,” she says. “When I told one friend about this picnic, I thought she’d be excited but she just said, ‘I haven’t been collecting Sylvanians for ages.’ She probably wanted to come but she’s worried it wouldn’t seem cool. Sylvanians are like the last little bit of childhood I have left.”Embark on exciting role-playing adventures and allow children to foster their social skills and emotional intelligence with the help of their new furry friends.
