Meet Candylab Roadworks – Where Timeless Design Meets Open-Ended STEM Play
April 30, 2026 · Charis Patel
At TKC, we’re always excited when one of our much-loved brands evolves in a way that feels both fresh and thoughtfully designed.
That’s exactly how we felt when Candylab introduced their brand new Roadworks range.
Already known for their iconic wooden toy vehicles and beautifully considered aesthetic, Candylab has now expanded into something even bigger, a modular world of road building, gravity-powered racing, and imaginative engineering.
And honestly, it feels like a natural next step.
A New Chapter for Candylab Play
Candylab has always stood out for its ability to combine modern design with nostalgic, open-ended play.
With Roadworks, they’ve taken that philosophy beyond the vehicle itself and into the world around it.
This new range introduces a beautifully designed, two-lane modular road system built specifically for 1:64 scale vehicles, allowing children to create custom race tracks, experiment with movement, and build endlessly expandable layouts.
It is part construction set, part racing system, and part early STEM discovery tool, all wrapped in the premium, design-led aesthetic Candylab is known for.

Built for Speed, Designed for Discovery
What makes Roadworks particularly exciting is that it is not just about racing.
Powered entirely by gravity, the system naturally introduces children to concepts like acceleration, momentum, force and motion through hands-on experimentation.
Candylab has thoughtfully designed the range to encourage curiosity, giving children the freedom to test, tweak, and rebuild while learning through play.
From jumps and turns to loops, bridges and expansion packs, every layout becomes an opportunity to explore how things work.
It is STEM-inspired play, but delivered in a way that feels effortless and genuinely fun.
Fully Modular, Endlessly Expandable

One of the most exciting things about the Roadworks range is its flexibility.
Children can begin with a starter playset, then build out their world with:
-
Full playsets for ready-to-go racing
-
Add-on kits including loops, bridges and advanced features
-
Expansion packs to create longer, more dynamic builds
-
A growing fleet of compatible vehicles
This modular system means play can evolve over time, adapting to children’s creativity and making each build feel entirely their own.
Meet TOONS – Candylab’s Perfect Roadworks Companions

Alongside Roadworks, Candylab has also introduced their playful new TOONS vehicle collection.
Designed to complement the Roadworks system perfectly, TOONS bring bold personality and charm to the track while maintaining Candylab’s signature design quality.
These vehicles feel playful and collectible, adding an extra layer of storytelling to the racing experience while giving children even more opportunities for imaginative play.
Together, Roadworks and TOONS create a complete world, one where design, motion, and creativity all come together.
Candylab’s Signature Design Philosophy, Expanded
As with everything Candylab creates, design remains central.
Roadworks feels bold, playful, and visually exciting, combining vibrant colours and dynamic design with the premium, thoughtful quality Candylab is known for. It strikes that clever balance between high-energy play and beautifully considered aesthetics, creating a range that feels just as engaging for children as it is appealing to parents.
It is play that feels elevated, without losing any sense of fun.
