KIDS & FAMILY

MELBOURNE 31 JUL - 4 AUG 2027

Stock your whole toy range - and the things that go with it.

Reed Kids & Family covers the full picture: the toys, the books, the creative kits, the outdoor gear and the occasions. It's where independent toy store owners build their Christmas range, their everyday range and their gifting wall - all in one visit.

The toy landscape changes fast. Here's how to stay ahead of it.
Fidgets, blind boxes, magnetics and collectibles - trends in toys move at social media speed. If you're completely new to the game and overwhelmed by the pace of online trends - Reed Kids & Family is where you see what's coming before it goes viral so your shelves are stocked well before your customers even come looking.

Products that parents reach for on autopilot. That's your goal here.
If toys or kids' products are a secondary category for you, you need evergreen sellers - things that move without a campaign behind them. We'll show you how to find them at Reed Kids & Family.

New exhibitors. Established Favourites. All at Reed Kids & Family.

The Kids & Family zone includes brand collections testing and launching exclusively before going to wider distribution. Register to access the full exhibitor list, start your planning and arrive with a curated shortlist based on your current buying brief.
