Aldi is on the hunt for some youngsters to join its ranks as official toy testers this rank, forming part of an expert panel to review a range of items.

The opportunity is open to children under the age of 13, but only 10 positions are up for grabs.

The lucky 10 will get the chance to play with and review a range of items from Aldi’s online toy store, which includes science tricks, ride-on cars and boxes filled with magic tricks.

And as an added bonus, each child will be ‘paid’ for their time with a year’s worth of toys.
