We love Aldi for their nappies, wipes and baby food but in recent years, the discount supermarket has seriously impressed us with their range of toys available for children.
You can expect everything from mud kitchens to learning resources, climbing frames to cuddly toys, all for competitive prices. As there are so many toys on offer, we've collated our favourites to help whittle down the choice. Why not pick up a gift for a new baby? Or stock up ready for Christmas?
As you can expect with Aldi, a lot of these toys are part of their Specialbuys, so you'll have to move quickly to make sure you don't miss out!

Review: "Much bigger than expected, really good outdoor toy kitchen - has kept the kids entertained for hours making "garden soup." Quite a bit of assembly involved, but only took an hour or so, and once completed a really fantastic product."
