Best Shopkins Toys in 2024

If you’re a parent to a child these days, you’re bound to have heard the name Shopkins mentioned. Probably repeatedly. Sometimes on a daily basis on television and frequently by your children! Yes, they are toys, but what exactly are they? Firstly, they are small but they are highly sought after by children, and are little collectable toys that come in a massive range and variety, almost too many to count. They are made of plastic and come in a range of bright colors and designs, and are little figures and characters that are made in an individual design with its own unique identity, style and name. There are common, easily found varieties, but there are also some rarer versions, that come in limited editions, special editions and are much harder to find. You can also buy other Shopkins items and merchandise such as kids clothes, stickers and cards as well as magazines and posters.

Some of the more well known Shopkins characters come in familiar designs and styles, such as a pretty lipstick called Lippy Lips, and a chocolate chip cookie called Kooky Cookie – the names are quirky and memorable, and you can see why children love these little colorful characters. But if you’re thinking of buying some Shopkins toys for your child, or niece or friend, where is the best place to start? Where do you find the best Shopkins toys on the market? This helpful guide will get you started with plenty of Shopkins related ideas…

 

Considerations When Buying Toy Shopkins

What needs to be thought about when buying Shopkins related toys or merchandise? It’s important to think about what items they might already have because you’d rather not end up buying them duplicates (although some kids love trading these with each other for new ones). It’s also important to consider your budget, but this won’t be hard because you can buy lots of Shopkins related items for a range of prices, so there is something for everyone. Another consideration is what item to actually buy – a toy? Jewelry? Shopkins adorned clothing or bedding? A Shopkins craft kit? Think about the child you’re buying for and what their preferences are and this will guide your purchase more closely.

12. Shopkins Season 4 Collection

The Shopkins characters come in a range of season releases to collect – and kids are usually more aware than parents about which season they have or have not collected yet.

Our Best Buy Overall

Shopkins Cutie Cars Car Wash

One of the best Shopkins toys on this list has to be the Cutie Cars Car Wash. It’s Shopkins, but with a difference. It might be a good choice of gift to get a child that you know enjoys collecting Shopkins, but might not have this exact item because it’s less mainstream than the others and is a little more unique with its features and details. Because it comes not only with the color changing car and matching mini, it also comes with the other series three Cutie Cars it really offers quite a substantial amount of fun for your money. The kids will really enjoy playing with the different sections, from the Spa Wash to the Deco Station or the Scent and Dry sections too. We felt that this toy offered something different with Shopkins that your child would really enjoy for a long time.

How Much Do Shopkins Cost?

Shopkins vary widely in cost and budget. Because at their very basic, they are simply plastic miniature figurines based on items you buy in the supermarket, they can be very affordable. A set of ten mini Shopkins can cost as little as a few dollars, while you can spend a lot more on the accessories, playsets and more substantial products from the wider range of merchandise. It’s really up to you. Small playsets are quite affordable also, only around twenty dollars or so, and when you consider how much worth you get as regards playtime and entertainment (not to mention adding to the collection) then is really is a good investment in a toy. Much larger houses and substantial playsets can be sold for upwards of sixty dollars, but again this would be a toy that would be enjoyed for years and by several children in the family and is also a place to house a Shopkins collection.

 

What are the Benefits of Collecting These Toys?

Sometimes parents despair at having to spend money on these small, unusual toys – but there are more benefits to them that you might realize. Obviously children love them, so when you buy one as a gift you’re certainly making them happy and excited, but what other benefits are there if you collect Shopkins?

Firstly, the small details and features of the Shopkins dolls collection can enable children to hone and develop their fine motor skills as they maneuver, pose and play with the items and play make believe in their pretend landscapes. It also teaches them to have respect and responsibility for their belongings and toys, because they are encouraged to properly keep, store and maintain their collection so that they never lose any of their Shopkins.

There is also an element of social interaction and speech development because they will play pretend scenarios with their Shoppies and will also sometimes swap or trade duplicate Shopkins with other children, so this fosters communication and self confidence too. When it comes to maintaining the collection, they will also learn how to do sequencing and logic as they keep track of their collections or even manage one of their Shopkins Supermarkets and buy and sell supermarket items. All of this fosters improvements in confidence and imagination as they play with their Shopkins toys.

 

What are the Different Types of Shopkin Toys?

As you’ve probably learned from reading through this exhaustive list of Shopkins toys and merchandise, they come in a wide range of styles, shapes and sizes and provide a range of fun experiences for children. You can opt for a Shopkins mini pack, which offers several mini surprises that you can add to your colorful collection and watch it grow. They also are useful for engaging in a range of pretend play in any Shopkins setting.  Other options are the Shopkins Special Editions, which are a little more quirky and special and come in a range of themes and styles – these are a special gift, one for a birthday or Christmas, as they are rarer to find and slightly more expensive. Whichever you buy, your child is bound to be a very happy one.
