With the summer holidays approaching, keeping screen time low and kids happy can feel like a full-time job. Thankfully, Aldi is coming to the rescue with its latest bargain toy range, starting from as little as £1.69, designed to encourage sensory, screen-free, interactive play. Available in the middle aisle from 2^nd August, it’s game on for parents to get their hands on these must-haves. As with all Specialbuys, once they’re gone, they’re gone! 

Tapping into the viral TikTok #slime trend, which sees videos garnering up to 465K views, Aldi’s Slime Mart (£5.99) is the perfect fun and sensory toy, designed to provide hours of squishy, stretchy entertainment, keeping little minds active and hands engaged – without the need for a tablet or TV. 

Families can also bring screen-free fun on holiday and make long journeys even more magical with the Glow in the Dark Minigames (£1.69). An exciting and cost-effective way to keep boredom at bay, these games put a new spin on childhood classics, including four in a row, tic-tac-toe, memory games, card games and 10 dice.

And finally, little ones can wind down and cuddle up with the comforting Huggable Plush (£9.99), available in cute characters including hippo, cat and bumblebee. 

Aldi’s Entertain the Kids range is available in stores nationwide from 2^nd August, while stocks last.
