The surprising $13 Kmart buy every parent wants – but is it too ‘old’ for our kids?

  • Kmart has started a debate between parents with their Wooden Vlogger Playset
  • The $13 set comes with a bag, phone, camera, selfie stick, ring light and tripod
  • Some parents think the playset is fun for kids who dream of becoming a vlogger

Kmart has divided opinion with the launch of its $13 Wooden Vlogger Playset, with some parents calling it inventive and others saying it will force our children to grow up too quickly.

The playset has been designed to keep up with kids who dream of ‘vlogging’ – or video blogging – like their idols on YouTube, which is now considered a worthy occupation. 

The six-piece set comes with a canvas draw-string backpack, a mobile phone, a camera, selfie stick, ring light and tripod.

‘Little ones will love to pretend taking pictures, photos and making video with this wooden vlogger set,’ the Kmart product description reads.  

When the product was recently announced Australian parents immediately took to Instagram to share their thoughts on the Kmart playset.
