iPads and video games are out and old school toys are back in. This week, parents can stock up on more traditional toys thanks to massive sales at stores including ALDI and Big W.
Today (Wednesday 20th June), ALDI are celebrating their first ever Wooden Toy Special Buys Sale and for those of you with little ones, we’ve narrowed down the best items you can grab in stores Australia-wide while stocks last. And in what’s expected to be their biggest ever toy sale, Big W will be slashing prices on some of their best sellers from the 21st June.
We’ve rounded up our top picks from both stores that will bring back a bit of nostalgia and keep the kids entertained for hours. Story continues after photos.

Another new product inspired by the 1950’s.
And while there will be almost 200 new toys on the shelves at Big W ranging from the Hot Wheels 50th Anniversary Vehicle to the New Barbie Dream House, some classic toys and games are on sale too.
Old school games like Uno and Monopoly are coming back into fashion and the price has dropped, so why not get involved in a family card game?
At just $7, why not grab a game of Uno to play with the family?
Andrew King, Buying Director at ALDI Australia says, “While wooden toys have been around for longer than we can remember, we’ve seen their resurgence recently with the rise of millennial nostalgia and eco-conscious parents wanting to buy toys that are not only durable, but also better for the environment.”
“Today’s generation of parents have grown up in the digital age, but many are looking for toys for their children that take them back to their own childhoods, while inspiring their children’s imaginations and supporting their development.”
And if the crazy crowds from previous sales are anything to go by, you’d better get shopping!
