Four pupils and one classroom

Honey Bee Acres Barksters & Meadow School

The Barksters dog family boxed with the twenty-one-piece Sunshine Meadow School and its exclusive teacher fox.

One box from the Honey Bee Acres line of flocked animal family playsets.

What is in the box

Bundle	Barksters dog family (4 figures) and Sunshine Meadow School (21 pieces)
Figures	5 flocked figures, including the teacher fox
School	13.5 in L x 7.75 in W x 9.5 in H, real bell
Ages	3 and up

The school on its own has a shortage of children. This bundle fixes that in one purchase: four dogs arrive with a teacher, a pivoting chalkboard, a spinning globe, desks, an art easel and a yard with a slide and a swing. The bell is real, which settles who gets to start the lesson.

Assembled the schoolhouse runs about thirteen and a half inches long and nine and a half high, and it opens up so several hands can reach inside at once. All five figures are posable at head, arms and legs with clothing that comes off.

This is a paired box rather than a new idea: the dog family and the school, packed together. Honey Bee Acres normally sells its animal families and playsets individually, and the pairs exist for the moment when one present has to do the work of two — here that means pupils and a classroom in one delivery. Nothing inside is exclusive to the pair; each half is the same box sold on its own elsewhere in the line, with the same three-inch poseable figures, the same interchangeable clothing and furniture and accessories at the one scale this flocked animal toys world has kept for years.

Honey Bee Acres is made and distributed by Sunny Days Entertainment. It belongs to a tradition of flocked animal toys that reached collectors from Japan decades ago and has barely changed since: round ears, soft coats and furniture cut to fit. Boxes are sold individually, so the village grows one at a time, and every poseable three-inch character shares the clothing, furniture and accessories of the whole line — one scale this animal toys world has held to for years.
