When my daughter was little we got her a doll house and some really nice wooden doll house furniture, and got a Sylvanian mouse family to live in it. We were living out in the country and since a lot of construction was going on around us had an ongoing problem with field mice in our house.
One day when my husband came home from work, I told him "there's a whole mouse family living in the cupboard". He went over and opened the door and there was the Sylvanian Mouse family all set up inside, sitting on cans of food.
