Would your child jump at the chance to be on The Late Late Toy Show? Every year, RTÉ opens applications for toy testers and young performers to take part in one of Ireland’s best-loved television traditions — and it could be your child’s turn to shine.
Whether your child is a singer, dancer, musician, or a budding star who just loves to perform, they may be able to apply to take part in the show.
How Can My Child Be on The Late Late Toy Show?
The application process is simple to start. Families need to complete the official RTÉ Late Late Toy Show application form when it opens for the year.
As part of the application, you’ll usually be asked to upload a short video of your child — around 90 seconds long — along with your contact details, so the production team can get a sense of their talent or personality.
Places on the show are limited and not every applicant will be chosen, but it’s a fun experience for kids to put themselves forward, and a lovely keepsake video to make together as a family regardless of the outcome.
Best of luck to all the kids who apply — and let us know if your family takes part!
