Introduction

Aldi says it will sell wooden toys again. The sale starts on Sunday, May 17, 2026. Each toy costs less than £35. The toys are for gardens. They include a mud kitchen, a sandpit, and a BBQ. Last time in October 2025, people bought all the toys very fast.

Main Body

In October 2025, many people wanted the toys. They stood in line before the store opened. People made videos of busy stores and full shopping carts. Some people said it was "madness" and "carnage". One woman, Abi Fincham, spent £270 and waited one hour. She said it was worth it. Some stores let people buy only two toys for each child. The new toys have some new things. There is a wooden BBQ for £24.99 and extra parts for £9.99. There is a mud kitchen for £34.99. It has a bread oven, a double burner stove, and holders for tools. There is a wooden shop front for £29.99. You can buy extra sets for £14.99. These sets are for a coffee shop, a flower shop, or a vet. Other toys are a sandpit, an easel, a table and chairs, a bookshelf, and a picnic bench. All prices are under £35. Aldi has a competition. They want to find a child to test the toys. Children three years old and older can apply. They must send a one-minute video to woodentoytester@aldi.co.uk before May 5, 2026. The winner gets free toys. They must tell Aldi if the toys are good to play with. Julie Ashfield, a boss at Aldi UK, said the toys are very popular. She wants children to help make better toys in the future. Aldi says these toys are special and only for a short time. They tell people to buy quickly. When the toys are gone, they will not get more.

Conclusion

People think the summer 2026 wooden toys will sell out fast, like before. Aldi also started a competition for a child to test the toys and give feedback.
