School, then cake

Honey Bee Acres Meadow School & Pastry Shop

The twenty-one-piece Sunshine Meadow School boxed with the thirty-five-piece Pastry Shop — fifty-six pieces, two exclusive figures and a short walk between them.

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

This is a street rather than a single building. The school has desks, an art easel, a spinning globe, a pivoting chalkboard, a yard with a slide and swing, a real bell and a teacher fox; the shop has a display case, trays, cups and saucers and a mouse behind the counter. The bell rings and everyone goes for cake.

Assembled the school runs about thirteen and a half inches long and nine and a half high, and the shop about eleven by seven. Both open on one face so several children can reach in at once, and both take figures of this scale from elsewhere in the line.

This is a paired box rather than a new idea: the school and the pastry shop, 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 the two busiest buildings in the line. 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.
