Aldi toy range returning with purchase limits due to high demand

Aldi is implementing a ‘two per person’ purchase limit for its returning wooden toy range due to expected high demand. The new collection will be available in stores starting May 17, 2026.

This year’s range includes 11 items, with prices ranging from £9.99 to £34.99. These include popular outdoor play options such as the Aldi Wooden Outdoor BBQ, priced at £24.99, and the Mud Kitchen, which costs £34.99.

The Mud Kitchen features a bread oven, washing up rack, double burner stove top, and utensil holders—perfect for imaginative play. Additionally, the Wooden Shop Front is available for £29.99, allowing children to engage in role-playing activities.

The BBQ Food Accessories set is priced at £9.99 and includes four kits with wooden toy food and condiments, enhancing the outdoor cooking experience.

Aldi has announced there will be a two per person limit on purchases, reflecting their anticipation of high interest in these toys. Once its SpecialBuys are gone, “they’re gone,” as the retailer emphasizes the limited nature of these offerings.

Children aged three and over can apply to be Aldi’s Wooden Toy Tester by sending in a one-minute audition video. The successful winner will receive a selection of Aldi’s latest Wooden Toys for free.

Aldi’s return of this wooden toy range highlights a growing trend towards sustainable and imaginative children’s toys that encourage outdoor play. Customers are encouraged to act quickly to secure their desired items.

While the excitement around these toys builds, officials have not disclosed how many units will be available in each store. This uncertainty may lead to increased competition among shoppers on launch day.
