One toy that has always been popular with kids is a toy that makes your child feel like they’re taking care of a pet. Even if you have real pets, a pet that your child can take anywhere and doesn’t need to completely take care of is always a plus. The Littlest Pet Shop toy line does closely resemble real pets to children all over the world. You can get everything from a grey cat with star shaped eyes to a flying squirrel with sweet apostrophe shaped eyes. And there are so many different ones, it would be hard for our little one to get bored with them.
This popular brand of toys centered around pets is Littlest Pet Shop. It has been around for almost three decades, with it making different incarnations and surges in popularity over the years. It has TV shows, video games, and various other spinoff media. However, the most popular Littlest Pet Shop toys still reign supreme. They’re a bit of a collector’s item for many kids and even adults, with thousands of pets available.
These pets include traditional dogs and cats, as well as birds, reptiles, and other exotic creatures. Not only can you buy toys, but you can buy playsets as well. Put your pets on different themed attractions and see what they can do.
With their rounded eyes seen on the animated television series, kids easily fall in love with the Littlest Pet Shop toy line.
So without further ado, let’s look at some playsets your children will love.
Jet
An airplane is always a fun set to have. Your kids love to simulate a flight, and then jet pet set (that’s a mouthful) has many different parts, stickers, and pets you can put inside. This is no ordinary jet ride; this is pure VIP. With many attractions and entertainment rooms, it feels less like a jet and more like a cruise. Your pets are definitely flying in style, and your children will love having adventures. It comes with four exotic pets. However, this is meant for older kids, as the assembly is difficult. You may want to help your child. Hasbro released the latest version of this in 2018.
Style
If you have pets, you may think about taking them to the groomer and making them all stylish. This is the same principle. It’s a beauty salon where all the pets come to have a new ‘do. It’s another set you build from scratch, and once you do so, it’s a playful way for your child to allow many different conversations between pets as they unwind after a fun day. It’s smaller and better for beginners to the Littlest Pet Shop universe. Your little ones will see a pets beauty salon on the animated television series so they’re certainly going to be excited to get this playset in real life.
Collection
If your child has no pets to play with or wants more, one set you can buy for them is the collector’s pack. This includes 15 pets for them to play with. Quite a bit and they also include other accessories to make playtime even better.
The set also integrates technology into play. One pet, Zizi Glitterton, has an app, and once you scan the pet, you can level it up and it’s like your child owns a digital pet they will cherish for a long time. This pets series works well as a starter kit for kids who love the television series and want some of the toys to play with.
Another fun thing to do is to buy Littlest Pet Shop blind bag pets. Kids love getting a blind bag for all of their favorite themed toys. The surprise of finding a rare LPS figure, or just not knowing what you’re going to get is thrilling for kids.
Cruise Ship
Who doesn’t love a cruise? A cruise ship is filled with adventure both inside and outside the ship, and just like the other sets, your child can put it together and enjoy life on the cruise ship. From a dance room to a pool party where your pets can swim, it’s always an adventure on this ship. It comes with three pets, a water slide, a lounge chair, and other accessories. The ship can open or close, and it’s quite sturdy as well. This makes it great for travel. You can even bring it on a cruise.
Shuttle
As your child builds up their own little pet universe, they will need a way to transfer pets. The shuttle is one of the best tools for you to do so. It fits many different pets and you can cover the shuttle with stickers in order to give it even more of a personality. Also, the wheels are completely functional so your child can push the shuttle and watch as their pets travel. It’s a great way to have fun, that’s for sure.
And yes, it has a driver’s pet. There has to be someone driving this!
Apartments
These apartments are definitely pet-friendly! They can fit a whopping 30 pets. That’s enough for a collection. There are many different rooms to fit different sized pets. If you’re new to LPS, they have pets in all sizes, from normal to mini to even smaller. The apartment is quite detailed, and you can watch your child have many conversations and create different stories as your pets live together and learn how to get along. Also, it’s a great way to keep their pets in a safe place when they aren’t using them. Give this set a try and see what your child can do with it.
If you are a collector of LPS figures, the apartments is good for keeping your collection all in one place. Maybe you have a pet ferret #33-pink magnet, or a white french poodle #101-red magnet (a more rare LPS toy), or even if you have a newer figure that has a blue magnet on the bottom, you need somewhere to keep them all displayed.
Rollercoaster
This Fairy Fun Rollercoaster is fairly fun. Who doesn’t love a rollercoaster? Well, a lot of people. But those that do have a good reason. They go fast, give you the thrills, and what kid doesn’t love theme parks? Now, they can bring the thrill of the ride to their pets. This playset includes one pet and three different friends.

It’s all about snapping parts and whatnot. If your child is new, this may be a good set for them to put together. However, some LPs characters may not be as compatible, so beware.
