New Playsets Found At Grocery Store

This is one of the new playsets called the Nursery School Teacher.  I ran across it today at Aldi's grocery store.  Aldi's is a discount grocer that carries mostly food and a few odds and ends.  They had a couple of the new Barbie playsets, a couple of Monster High dolls, some Disney dolls, and a few packs with a Barbie doll and a couple of outfits.  They were a little cheaper than retail.  The other playset available was the new Arctic Rescue set.  Both the playsets were $17.99.   I'm not sure why they were there since they are very new. 


It comes with two little girls that I found interesting.

They are about the size of the Happy Family toddlers.

Here she is compared to Jacob, who is the same size as the Kelly doll.

The baby is the one from the Mattel I Can Be A Babysitter playset.

They wanted to show a couple of their toys.  I don't know why they painted that baby's hair bright yellow.  Nothing a little paint and sealer can't fix.

The little playset is a nice size for the toddlers. 

There is also a little table in the set that changes from a lunch table....

to an arts and crafts table.  

Not much to say about the Barbie doll.  It's the standard doll included in playsets.  Would be nice to see something different.  All in all, it's a cute little playset.  I bought it mainly for the toddlers.  I like having different faces in town.

  1. I like the kids in the set! I agree, the blonde barbie with blue eyes is so plain and boring.

    Also, I was wondering if you were being affected by hurricane Sandy.

  2. Very cute playsets. I've never seen Barbie or Monster High toys for sale in Aldi here although you never know what their specials are going to be. This week it's TVs, last week it was chainsaws so maybe they will sometime soon. Glad to hear there is no hurricane near Morristown.

  3. Hi Vanessa,

    I shop at Aldi's often, especially for fresh produce.

    I've seen Barbie items there from time to time especially during upcoming holidays like Easter and Christmas. I'll have to visit my store soon to see what selections are there.

    1. DBG - I shop at Aldi's and our local farmer's market all the time. I haven't bought a piece of produce from the other grocery stores in over 2 yrs.

      I didn't buy one of playsets they had there early last year and I've regretted it ever since. Didn't want that to happen again.

    1. Georgia Girl - I hope the Aldi's near you is a good one. If it is, you will be impressed at the prices and the quality of the food. Everything is cheaper at Aldi's.

  7. I haven't seen that set around here, and I love it. I'm sure both the toddlers and the rest of the stuff will look great in your stories.

    1. Rossetti - This playset is really new. I've only seen it on the internet, until now. I haven't even seen it yet in Target or Walmart. Not sure why it was at the discount store.

    1. Tracy - They could have done a better job on the yellow hair, but I really like the hairstyle.

  10. maybe the little african american toddler girl can be the older sister to the baby girl shown in the picture who is shay's daughter.

    1. coolsinger - She would make a nice big sister for baby Shay, but it would be hard giving them a second daughter at this point. I'm sure she will find her way into a family soon.
