New range of Coles mini collectables hits stores today

2 min read

There are 24 new collectables available! 

The Coles Little Shop Collection craze swept the nation in 2018 with mini collectables being sold for hundreds of dollars, and thousands of people attending Little Shop swap meets across the country.

And now, the next incarnation of mini collectables is set to hit Coles stores today.

From Wednesday 13th February, shoppers can pick up ‘Fresh Stikeez’ – mini versions of various types of fruit and vegetables.

There are 24 ‘Fresh Stikeez’ that can be collected including Marie the Mango, Carlo the Cucumber, and Sunny the Strawberry – some of which have been named after Coles fruit and vegetable suppliers.

The new collectable program aims to promote healthy eating to kids, and was created in partnership with the Healthy Kids Association.

The collectables will be released in addition to the Coles ‘Rainbow Challenge’ – a challenge that motivates families to track what and how many fruits and vegetables they are eating by ticking off the colours of the rainbow daily on a chart provided by Coles.

The Rainbow Challenge was developed with Curtis Stone, who created recipes children can make with their parents which are easy to prepare.

“As a parent I know how hard it can be to get kids excited about eating their veggies so I’m really excited about helping to make them fun and tasty with my colourful recipes like ‘broc tots’, eggplant chips and rainbow pizzas,” Coles Fresh Ambassador Curtis Stone said.

“I can’t wait to see how Aussie families bring the Rainbow Challenge to life and have fun eating delicious healthy food.”

Shoppers can pick up one collectable for every $30 they spend at the supermarket.
