Lidl has a new retro wooden toy range and the prices start at £3.99
FORGET gadgets and interactive dolls, Lidl has just launched a collection of traditional wooden toys and prices start at just £3.99.
The retro collection launched in stores this week and it will be available while stocks last.
Highlights include a miniature wooden play kitchen for £50 but also cheaper options like a fun retro puzzle with cute farm animals for less than £4.
Kids can also whizz around the house on the colourful wooden tricycle or spend their time on Lidl's rocking horse - which are both available for £24.99
If you're still stuck for ideas for Christmas, the collection also features great stocking fillers.
These include a set of wooden dolls, which are available for £5.99 each as well as an array of wooden food priced at £5.99 for a set.
A play cookware set, ideal for role play games and catering make believe guests, is also available for £7.99.
But Lidl is not the only retailer offering cute wooden toys this year and it's also not the cheapest one.
A large wooden kitchen set at rival Aldi is available for £29.99.
That's more than 70 per cent cheaper than John Lewis' Country Play Wooden Kitchen, which costs £125.
It's also £20 cheaper than Lidl's wooden play kitchen, although Aldi's version is smaller and comes with less storage space.
Meanwhile, Asda's George Home Wooden Deluxe Kitchen was recently reduced to £32 from its original price of £40 also beating Lidl's offer.
