Coming Soon: Anpanman's Playful Donut Shop
On August 6, 2026, SEGA Toys will launch the captivating "Kuru Kuru PON! Anpanman Puni Puni Donut Shop" as part of its popular Anpanman play series. Priced at 6,820 yen (tax included), this delightful toy will be available across toy specialty stores, department stores, large retail chains, and online shops throughout Japan.
Engage in Fun Pretend Play
The "Kuru Kuru PON! Anpanman Puni Puni Donut Shop" offers kids an opportunity to step into the shoes of a donut shop employee alongside their favorite character, Anpanman. The centerpiece of the playset features a fantastic donut machine where little ones can insert toy donuts and pull a lever. The machine whizzes around as lights flash orange, accompanied by sizzling sound effects that replicate the delightful experience of frying donuts. After the donuts are cooked, pressing the central button causes them to launch out of the machine with a fun "PON!" sound, making the experience even more exciting with Anpanman and Baikinman’s cheerful dialogue resonating throughout the playtime.
The donuts are made from soft materials, making them easy for younger children to grasp with tongs, ensuring that they have a safe and enjoyable experience as they embark on their first pretend play adventure. Kids can arrange their finished donuts on the display shelf, pack them in take-out boxes, and engage in checkout play, allowing them to enjoy every aspect of running a donut shop.
Educational Elements Through Play
The playset includes a total of six donuts: one each of Anpanman and Baikinman character donuts, plus two plain donuts, and one each of strawberry and chocolate donuts. To enhance the fun, four topping pieces are provided, including "Anpanman Colorful Chocolate Sprinkles," "Baikinman Mint & Chocolate Sprinkles," "Dokinchan Double Berry," and "Kokinchyan Blue Hawaii & Color Chocolate," allowing children to create visually appealing donuts.
To foster a connection with numbers, the tray features numbers 1 through 6, making it an engaging way for children to get familiar with counting. Kids can lay their donuts on the tray, play along with Baikinman’s request for "How many donuts would you like?" or involve a parent in the pretend store play, naturally reinforcing their understanding of numbers. Furthermore, activities such as pressing buttons, pulling levers, enjoying the soft textures, and adding topping pieces will also aid in developing fine motor skills.
