Toys & games deals: what to know

Toys, games, puzzles, ride-ons, outdoor play, craft and sensory toys for babies through to tweens, from toy stores and kids' boutiques. Toy prices peak in November and clear in January; the mid-year toy sales (June) are the other reliable window.

Common searches: wooden toys, lego, magnetic tiles, board games, ride on, sensory toys.

Before you buy

  • Check the age grading and small-parts warning; toys for under-threes must meet the Australian mandatory standard for small parts.
  • Battery-operated toys rarely include batteries, and some need a specialist screwdriver to open the compartment.
  • Big-box toys (trampolines, playhouses, ride-ons) have delivery fees by size; some are pick-up only in regional areas.
  • The mid-year toy sales are often a better time to buy than Black Friday, when stock of popular lines runs short.

What the specs mean

A toy's age grading, piece count and what it is made of tell you more than the box art, and the age on the listing is also the safety grading: toys for children under 3 are held to a mandatory Australian small-parts standard.

Age grading
The maker's age range is a safety grading as much as a skill one: a toy marked 3+ may contain parts that fit a choking-test cylinder, which toys for under 3s must not. Compare the stated age (18 months+, 3+, 8+) and any choking-hazard warning with the age of every child who will reach it.
Small parts and magnets
Toys for children up to 36 months sold in Australia must pass a small-parts test, and toys with small, strong magnets have their own mandatory standard because swallowed magnets can injure. Look for the standard the listing names (AS/NZS ISO 8124.1, EN 71 or ASTM F963) and for a stated magnet warning on magnetic tiles, blocks and fishing games.
Pieces
Two magnetic tile sets at the same price can differ by half the tiles, and a '100 piece' construction set may count every tiny connector. Compare the stated piece count and the contents list, and for puzzles the number of pieces against the child's age.
Dimensions
A play couch, climbing frame, ride-on or play kitchen takes real floor space, and a plush marked 105 cm is not a handbag toy. Compare the assembled dimensions in centimetres, and the box size for anything that needs to be hidden until a birthday.
Batteries
Battery toys differ in whether batteries are included, what size they take and whether a button battery is inside; Australian rules require button-battery compartments to be secured and warnings shown. Look for the battery type and count, whether they are included, a screw-secured compartment, and USB charging where offered.
Material
Solid wood, plywood, plastic and silicone wear differently, and 'wooden' often means MDF with a print. Read the stated material and finish (beech, rubberwood, plywood, ABS, silicone, water-based paint).
Players and play time
A board game for 2 to 4 players and 20 minutes is a different buy from one needing 4 to 6 and an hour, and the age range on games is about reading and attention, not safety. Compare the stated player count, play time and minimum age.
Water and outdoor toys
Inflatable pool toys and floats carry a stated maximum weight and an Australian aquatic-toy standard; a trampoline or swing set has a weight limit and needs clear space around it. Compare the maximum load in kilograms, the stated standard, and the footprint and clearance the maker asks for.
