If your household includes little girls around the age of 5 and over, chances are you may be having a Shopkins
I have the same sentiment. This mom doesn’t fully understand why Shopkins has become a craze among my daughters and their friends, only that it’s something I need to – excuse the Shopkins pun – feed.
Kids love to collect things (we’re fortunate that, unlike my relatives, it isn’t rocks!) and Shopkins taps into that desire with kids. The basic Shopkins are line of small plastic toys, the size of your thumb or smaller with faces on them. Yes, broccoli, a shoe, a cupcake. Basically anything around you could very well be a Shopkins character one day.
I like the relatively low price point (you can get a package of Shopkins
Yes they will probably trade some with their friends (my 8 year old started coming home with them, given to her by a friend, earlier this fall) and you may end up stepping on them from time to time, but I remind myself that when I was a kid I had some weird toy crazes go through our household too and I loved collecting my favorites as well. Shopkins are cute, fun, and encourage imaginative play – all reasons why they’re a huge hit in our house and will be under our tree this Christmas (that is, if I can get the ones my girls want before they’re sold out everywhere!)
Find Shopkins at places like Chapters, Toys R Us, Walmart and Amazon.ca
Both my kids love these things.. for the longest time you couldn’t find them anywhere! There was someone in town buying all of them then marking them up on kijiji!! so frustrating..
Wow! Why am I not surprised by that! I picked up a few on Black Friday sales but a lot was out of stock online.
I picked some up at Chapters Indigo they had some great deals on them! I had bought my daughters big fashion spree set well before xmas because i was scared I wouldn’t find one
I was in to Chapters last month and the guy who served me tried to sell me some.
I have a huge fan of Shopkins at home!!
my cousins daughter is obsessed so buying for her this year was quite easy 🙂 but she is gonna have to let me play with them too lol
