Canada Toys Market Trends:

Rising Demand for Educational and STEM-Focused Toys

Canadian parents and educators increasingly prioritize toys that support learning and cognitive development, sparking a notable shift toward educational and STEM products. Sets such as building kits, puzzles, and science-oriented toys are gaining popularity as they offer developmental benefits from early childhood through the school years. This trend is reinforced by strong consumer interest in cognitive-enhancement playthings, as shown by the booming Canadian educational toys segment and its rapid growth trajectory. The emphasis on learning through play supports long‑term skill building in areas like problem‑solving, creativity, and analytical reasoning. Educational toy makers are responding with increasingly sophisticated products, including design-based and interactive kits, ensuring this factor continues to shape the industry’s direction. For instance, in July 2024, Staples Canada expanded its focus on children by introducing over 100 new Staples Kids Learn + Play concepts in stores across Canada. The idea is an area for play focused on learning, containing a carefully chosen variety of toys and instructional resources. At first, the concept was offered to customers in just eight locations, marking Staples Canada’s biggest single-year growth for the office supply company.

Integration of Technology and Digital Features

The Canada toys market growth is also driven by the incorporation of digital technologies, such as AI, augmented reality, and interactive screens, into traditional toys, which is transforming play experiences in Canada. For instance, in December 2023, Curio, a newly launched tech toy brand, is entering the AI toy space with a lineup of interactive plush companions capable of engaging in full conversations. The brand is debuting three AI-powered plush characters, Grok, Gabbo, and Grem, designed to offer children a screen-free tech play experience. In a unique twist, Canadian artist Grimes has joined the initiative as both a voice actor for one of the characters and a strategic investor and advisor. With this launch, Curio aims to blend soft toy comfort with advanced artificial intelligence, redefining how kids interact with technology. Tech-enhanced toys capture children’s attention and provide immersive experiences, blending physical play with on-screen feedback and app-based interactions. This trend reflects broader consumer preferences: parents seek engaging, value‑added products that combine entertainment with education. Brands like LEGO and Spin Master are innovating with hybrid toys that bridge analog and digital play, catering to children’s tech fluency. As a result, the market sees higher levels of engagement, repeat usage, and premium pricing, elevating both product innovation and competitiveness across Canadian retailers.
