It’s time for kids to hit the road with Mattel‘s new collection of toys inspired by the Disney+ animated series Cars on the Road from Disney and Pixar’s Cars franchise. From new playsets to an illustrated storybook, there’s something for every racing fanatic.
The Dino Park Playset is inspired by the “Dino Park” episode of Cars on the Road. A huge chomping dinosaur sits in the center of the playset, ready to strike Cave Lightning McQueen as he speeds by. Kids can use the launcher to jump across the lava and onto the track, avoiding the mouth of the ferocious creature. Further down the cliff, kids can discover dino eggs. Packed with loads of action, this playset is available for $26.99 at Target for kids ages 4 and up.
The Showtime Loop Playset features the monster-truck Ivy in a scene straight from the show. When kids push the lever forward and press the launcher, they can send Ivy around the loop, busting through barrels and flying over her friend Haul Em’ Haynes Pitty before landing on the bouncing target. Kids ages 4 and up can change the level of difficulty by extending the obstacle pad or bouncing target. Mattel’s Showtime Loop Playset is available for $32.99 at Target.
The Radiator Springs Tour Trackset comes with Road Trip Lightning McQueen and Road Trip Mater in their iconic town of Radiator Springs. Kids can stop by Luigi’s tire shop for a quick tune-up from Guido, pass through Ramone’s for a fresh paint job, fill up at Flo’s café, and wait for the light to turn green before beginning Lightning McQueen and Mater’s journey. Kids can also connect multiple playsets together to explore more of Radiator Springs (sold separately). This playset is available for $47.99 at Target.
With Red’s Fire Station Playset, fan-favorite Red the firetruck can race to the rescue, “filling up” his water tank and rolling into action with a lift-up ramp. Kids can speed through the streets of Radiator Springs putting out fires before cooling off at Stanley’s fountain by rolling over the lever to watch the “water” go up and down. Cars fans ages 3 and up can also connect multiple together (sold separately). This set is available from Mattel for $19.99 on Amazon.
One of the newest stars from Cars on the Road is Ivy the monster truck. Fans can bring her home with this large-scale plastic vehicle from the “Showtime” episode. Circus Stunt Ivy is ready to show off her epic moves, jumping over multiple cars (sold separately). Kids ages 3 and up can push down and then push forward, watching as Ivy leaps into the air. Circus Stunt Ivy is available for $21.99 at Target.
When kids open the Cars on the Road Dino Egg Cruisers, they can discover a mini character vehicle with unique dinosaur accents. Each die-cast vehicle has iconic details and rolling wheels for push-around play. Look for dinosaur figures on two wheels, race cars on four, and buses and trucks with six. Kids will enjoy collecting their favorite characters and recreating on-screen moments. These mini cars are the perfect size for play at home or on the go. Mattel’s Dino Egg Cruisers are available for $7.99 on shop.mattel.com.
Kids ages 3-6 can curl up in the backseat with the Cars on the Road full-color storybook. Based on the Disney+ series, this book also includes a sheet of stickers. Raeders can follow along as Lightning McQueen and Mater head on a road trip. The book is filled with lots of fun new characters and imaginative destinations, as well as a few old friends checking in along the way. The Cars on the Road storybook is available for $6.99 at Penguin Random House.
