The family that goes with the house is similarly spare in design, allowing children to take the two adult figures and three child figures, and add hair and clothing from a collection of 150 interchangeable options to make of them what they will. I love the flexibility here, as all are gender-neautral to start, meaning that the family can be representative of a huge variety of people. The fact that they come in pastel colours means that they are also race-neutral, unless you happen to know of a people who come in blue, pink, purple, and green. I love that this leaves play wide-open, though the pets available are the traditional two dogs and a cat.

All of this is parceled into small, easily portable little boxes, making it perfect for visiting, trips, or keeping your spaces free of bulkier dollhouses. The cool factor of having MoMA-designed toys makes it a perfect gift for the difficult-to-please hipster family, too, which is a great score, since cool for kids is not always easy to come by.
