Wooden toys have seen a huge surge in popularity, thanks to their timeless design and durability. They are also fantastic for encouraging imaginative play, creativity, social skills, learning real world situations and developing problem-solving abilities. The added bonus of little to no plastic tat is a big factor in making the Aldi Toy Event so popular.

Kettle Set with Mugs, Mug Stand, Milk Jug, Sugar Bowl, Sugar Cubes and Spoon, €14.74. Suitable for ages 3+ years.

There is so much to choose from this year! Imaginations will be put to great use with toys like the cash register, shop, doll’s house, airport, car garage and fire station. Similarly, those household tasks which seems to fascinate younger children can be picked up in toy form – ironing board, dustpan and brush, shopping trolley and more.

It was really hard to narrow down our favourites – the level of detail in the toys is fab. Just check out the kitchen equipment sets, particularly the sushi set and the coffee collection that will have your little ones trained up as mini Baristas in no time!

17-piece wooden sushi set, 9.82. Suitable for ages 3+ years.

Personally, I’m hoping to get my hands on the star or chevron teepee for my daughter and the pull-along unicorn and baking sets for my godchildren. I’m pretty sure one of those giant sloth teddies will make its way home with me too…!
