— February 14, 2026 — Business
Moose Toys has received the Playset of the Year Award from the Toy Foundation for its Bluey Supermarket playset, a product developed under the company's licensing agreement with the entertainment brand's rights holders. This award recognizes the playset's design and its ability to translate the 'Kids' episode of the popular Emmy®- and Peabody Award-winning series into an intricate and multi-level tactical experience.

The Bluey Supermarket playset includes various play areas and is equipped with numerous accessories, a mechanical escalator that children can operate themselves, and a sound system that plays multiple phrases and audio cues drawn directly from the television series. This combination of features is intended to recreate the setting and atmosphere of the supermarket-themed episode, allowing children to act out familiar scenes and narratives with the included figures of the characters Bluey and Bingo.
