Mother Bianca Marshmallow is an incredibly well organised mouse, and runs the Grocery Market in the village. Her store stocks a great variety of every day necessities, so the Sylvanians are always visiting to pick up essentials they may have run out of. Bianca is also very good at chess, which is one of her favourite hobbies.Father Bernard Marshmallow isn’t very good with details, so isn’t as organised as his lovely wife. However when it comes to his homemade cheese collection he knows the recipe for every single variety and loves to make delicious cheese dishes for his whole family. Bernard dreams of opening his very own Pizzeria one day, with a four-cheese pizza as the chef’s special! Sister Katherine Marshmallow is a very clever young mouse, and is excellent at maths and science. However she can be quite forgetful. Katherine sometimes helps out at her mother’s shop on Saturdays, and while she can add up the grocery prices very easily, she can often forget how much things cost!Brother Christopher Marshmallow is the complete opposite of his sister. He has an excellent memory, and can remember every ingredient of his father’s prized cheese recipes. But ask him to work out the recipe quantities, or to convert the oven temperature, he can sometimes get stuck, maths is not Christopher’s strong point!Sylvanian Families evergreen toy appeals to young children just making their first friends and older children about to start secondary school.
