Calico Critters are coming to Netflix.
Calico Critters fans are going to love the adorable new Town Series.
We were invited to kick off the holiday season and preview the new collection from Epoch Everlasting Play at Lady Mendl’s Tea Salon in New York City.
The Calico Critters concept of beautifully detailed animal figures living like humans has captured the hearts of children since 1985. The Town is a sophisticated and stylish wonderland of fun. Families from Calico Village enjoy riding the tram while visiting to shop, dine and socialize with friends. Because the Town Series is comprised of superior quality, connectable environments children are sure to spend hours playing with these play sets.
Lady Mendl’s Tea Salon:
Lady Mendl’s was the perfect venue to showcase Calico Town’s elegant style. We were able to play, do crafts and enjoy a delicious tea party in a sophisticated atmosphere. The tea salon was full of little ladies who were happily transported to Town while visiting with Stella and her friends.
The best part of the afternoon was that all guests got to meet Stella the sophisticated fashion designer from Calico Village. Stella moved to town to pursue her career. The fashionable bunny was gracious and posed for pictures and played with all of the guests. Stella even humored those adults who still think they are kids (that would be me!) My son played photographer while the inner five year old inside me enjoyed a fan girl moment.
Calico Critters’ Big Announcement:
During tea time, Stella made a very exciting announcement! Calico Critters is teaming up with Netflix for a series of short, mini episodes featuring Calico Town. We were present for the “World Premiere” episode. I have to say I cant wait to see what happens next with Stella’s design career.
