Aldi wooden toys return after parents queue down the aisles

There's also returning favourites like the iconic wooden Aldi supermarket and the beloved wooden Cuthbert Cake.

Last year the Cuthbert Cake was the standout hit of the event, with parents taking to Mumsnet to ask which stores still had stock.

One even posted: "I got to Aldi at 8.20am after nursery drop off and they were queuing down the aisle to get to the wooden toys... I was resigned at this point to another year of disappointment, but I finally made it to near the front, two women in front of me - the one said to the other only two toy Cuthbert cakes left and handed one to the other woman. I asked her, are you sure there's no more?, as they were mixed with other options. But she'd gone right to the bottom of the pile to find them.

"The second woman turned round and said it's ok you can have this one, I'll get one of the other ones. This kindness has completely made my day and I can't wait to give it to DS for Xmas! There are truly some very generous people in the world. Thank you again so much, kind fellow mum."

Prices start from £3.49, and the sell-out range includes upgraded kitchens, as well as a new mechanic car and wooden roleplay vests.
