Can you believe it? In this year of 2025, we’re celebrating 15 years of Li’l Woodzeez. From the humble beginnings of a small group of Famileez to a bustlin’ community of over 150 toys, our story has been a hootin’ adventure! And it would not have been possible without people like you. It’s time to celebrate!
In the spirit of our 15th anniversary, let’s take a look back at our lovely li’l town’s growth and all the friends we’ve made along the way.
2010: Laying the Groundwork
It all starts with 9 founding Famileez: the Handydandy Mice, the Diggadilly Raccoons, the Bushytail Squirrels, the Tidyshine Turtles, the Waterwaggle Beavers, the Whooswhoo Owls, the Hoppingood Rabbits, the Swiftysweeper Hedgehogs, and the Whiffpuff Skunks. Together, they build the village of Honeysuckle Hollow from the ground up. And soon, these mighty woodland critters welcome Famileez from every other continent around the globe.
Some of our old friends have since retired and moved away, but they made history!
2011: A Blissful Bakery
Honeysuckle Hollow’s very first shop, the Tickle-Your-Tastebuds Bakery, opens! The Li’l Woodzeez rejoice at the smell of fresh bread and the abundance of cakes, pies, and li’l treats they have at their fingertips. They have their priorities straight!
2012 – 2014: On the Up n' Up
The Li’l Woodzeez are busy bees during this period, opening a bunch of new shops and saying hello to the beloved Tippytail Foxes and Healthnuggle Bears. The Hoppin’ Farmers Market serves fresh fruits and veggies, the Sunny Acres Country House is a cozy place to live, and the Walk-In Health Clinic keeps everyone happy and healthy. The Happy Camper also rolls in, which takes our Woodzeez friends on delightful trips out of town.
Add more embellishments such as the Boating Set, the Lemonade Stand, the Picnic Set, and the Garden, and Honeysuckle Hollow is a vibrant community filled with love and laughter.
2015: New Neighbors
Li’l Woodzeez from all around the world begin to move to Honeysuckle Hollow! The Canberra Koalas come all the way from Australia, while the Skyhopper Pandas come from the Far East. There’s also the Snipadoodles Sheep, the Whiskerelli Cats, and more friendly faces eager to plant their roots in the Hollow’s soil.
Honeysuckle Hollow’s downtown blossoms with the Li’l Petals Flower Shop, the Li’l Luvs & Hugs Nursery, the Baabaa Spa & Hair Salon, and the Scoops & Sprinkles Ice Cream Shop. Honeysuckle Airway takes our critters on faraway vacations, and, at the beach, there’s even the Sunshine Tiki Hut, where Li’l Woodzeez learn to surf!
2016: Introducing Bobbleez
Out of the woods comes an iconic group of friends… Bobbleez! Born from the acorns of the Great Oak tree, these iconic bobbleheads are known for sneaking into town after the sun sets and doing good deeds before anyone can catch them – like li’l kindness fairies. There are 80 lovable characters in the original series of Bobbleez. And while most have moved out of the Honeysuckle Hollow Forest, you still might find one out and about!
2016 also welcomes the Honeysuckle Hillside Cottage, Honeysuckle Hollow’s pride and joy. This award-winning, 3-storey house has colorful trim, many openable windows and doors, a porch swing, real lights, and comfy furnishings – a lovely home for any Li’l Woodzeez family.
2017: Terrific Treehouses
Your Li’l Woodzeez friends build amazing new homes out of trees! The Family Treehouse is a big and wonderful place for our critters to hang out, adding color and greenery to the town’s landscape. Similarly, the Acorn Treehouse wows with its pink, domed roof and leafy furniture. And with a porch light, Woodzeez are there from dawn till dusk!
2018 – 2020: A Babeez Boom
Say hello to Babeez! In 2018, Honeysuckle Hollow greets li’l bundles of joy in brightly colored cribs, as well as a handful extra-large and multi-generational Famileez. There are the Bustleberry Squirrels, the Daintypaw Cats, the Wagadoodle Dogs, and the Cottonball Rabbits, to name a few, each a family of 7 lovable characters. (Some even have triplets!)
More Famileez of four move in as well, including the McBristly Porcupines, the Vanderhoof Moose, the Riverdipper Hippos, and the O’Funnigan Monkeys. From fashion designers to party planners, everyone has a special job to do, bringing more life to the village of Honeysuckle Hollow.
To educate all these new li’l critters, the town builds the Woodland Schoolhouse, with its charming red bricks and school bell. The Play Park gives the youngsters of Honeysuckle Hollow an awesome place to play, and the Li’l Nibbles Drive Thru Diner gives parents a comfy spot to grab food between activities.
Did you know? The Li’l Woodzeez app launched in 2019 – a free mobile game about the Tippytail Fox Family!
2021: Friendz Clubs
Kiddos in the Hollow make their friendships super official by creating Friendz Clubs! There’s the Backyard Set, the Farm Set, the Forest Set, and the Jungle Set of best pals, each in groups of four. They’re simply inseparable!
Also in 2021 is the Post N’ Pizza Shop’s grand opening, a unique li’l shop where Woodzeez can both mail their letters and grab a slice of ‘za. It’s a win-win for busy critters with lots of to-dos!
2022: The Royal Festival
Honeysuckle is thriving with a diverse population and an abundance of things to do! So, to celebrate, the Li’l Woodzeez start a new tradition: the Royal Festival! Each summer, the critters gather at Kingsley Castle, where they enjoy games, activities, and a feast with all their friends. And the Royal Festival always ends with a super fun costume parade!
There are 8 toys in the Royal Series, including stackable playsets and Friendz Clubs in fantastic costumes!
2023 – 2024: More Exotic Famileez
The Slothington Sloths and the Rumbles Rhinos make their way into town! Both Famileez quickly become friends with the Tuskaroo Walruses and Bogglesby Alligators who have also moved in recently. At this point, Honeysuckle Hollow has expanded its roots from a li’l community of forest friends to a wonderful mix of critters from all around the world.
2025: More to Come
Honeysuckle Hollow has come a long way, and it has so many more stories to tell. What happens next is sweet surprise that has yet to come. So, stay tuned! There’s lots to look forward to!
