I am looking for a toy that I had as a child, which would have been
around the early eighties. It was a cloth little treehouse in which
three chipmunks (although they could have been squirrels?) lived. Both
the treehouse and the creatures were made out of squishy cloth and the
tree house was bright green and brown. I think that the chipmunk
family wore clothes. I would love a link to a vintage toy site or ebay
seller, etc.

Hello.

I'm go out on a limb, so to speak, and guess that your toy was the
Fisher Price Woodsey Log House Playset.

It's a cloth treehouse that's green and brown. It has three squirrels
wearing clothes.

Two current eBay auctions of the item:

1979 Fisher Price #960 Squirrels & House
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3137846069&category=374

One closed eBay auction:
1979 F.P WOODSEY SQUIRREL SET, SOFT CASE MINT
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3136296779&category=374

search strategy:
ebay: category toys: squirrels

I hope this helps. If this isn't the right toy, please use the
"request clarification" feature to let me know and I will resume my
search. Thank you.
