Mums share their clever ideas to utilise all those Coles Little Shop collectables.

You may recall this clever idea from Teach Make Create mumma’s last year when they shared some AMAZING ideas for play with the Coles Little Shop mini toys.

Check out some of their clever creations below:

Jewellery designer, Jemima Moore, came up with a way to work the Coles Little Shop mini collectables into her wardrobe. Cool idea!

Ideal for Barbie and doll houses too!

People have also been getting excited about how handy these mini items will be when Elf on the Shelf comes back to visit in December. Stay tuned for that one!

  • So cute! The Coles little shops are more sized for Barbie then the kids. They are super miniature

  • Haha these are great! Might have a crack at a few tomorrow. At the moment my boys make ‘soup’ out of all the groceries in their little play kitchen, toilet cleaner included ????

  • Fantastic. So for all the whingers and nay sayers, perhaps put your energy into the positives. I read that Aged Care places are requesting them for activities, and I thought they’d be great for pre-schoolers to use in the areas where they normally role-play eg. kitchen areas, etc. I’ll be donating mine somewhere useful.

  • These Coles mini displays look awesome! Terrific use of boxes, cardboard and Coles minis. Creative and clever ideas for non expensive play.

  • Very cute ! This is what my 14 yr old daughter does. Since Kindy or so, she’s always busy with creative creations from cardboard boxes. I love it, only the mess…

  • Some of these make great use of empty cartons by recycling them to give children hours of fun


    • Good for teaching kids to reuse, recycle and repurpose.

  • Some people are so clever, I wish I was the crafty mum but I’m really not. Unfortunately.
