Late Late Toy Show 2025 - Can you spot these toys?

Ah, The Late Late Toy Show, this year it is on Friday, 5th December, and I can’t wait! It’s still one of my favourite nights of the year, a cosy evening in front of the telly with my now “older kids.” I love the excitement, the emotions, and most of all, the incredible display of children’s talents. 
That joyful, slightly chaotic sense of fun is exactly what made me fall in love with Ireland almost 30 years ago!
When it comes to toys, Mimitoys has always stood for traditional, hands-on play with toys that let children do what they do best: play, explore and learn.
As in previous years, I’ve sent a few of our favourite puppets and toys to the Late Late Toy Show team for their testers to explore. Over the years, we’ve been lucky to see some of them featured on screen, always a real thrill, even if it’s just for a few seconds!
So once again, fingers and toes crossed for 2025… maybe you’ll spot one of our toys this year?
