The Best 'Encanto' Toys to Bring the Madrigal Magic to Your Home
Target
If you aren't walking, breathing, and chewing to the sound of "We Don't Talk About Bruno" in your head nonstop these days, well, that must mean that you don't have a child under, say, age 25 in your home. But at some point, maybe you'll have to take a break between replaying Encanto on Disney+ and replaying the soundtrack on every speaker you own. That's no reason your kids have to stop thinking about (and being inspired by) la familia Madrigal. The many Encanto toys—dolls, costumes, Lego sets, and more—available right now can help them imagine their own miracles at home.
Besides being an entertaining movie with a ridiculously catchy Lin Manuel Miranda soundtrack, Encanto has become something bigger for families. The movie's magical story is a welcome escape for many of us stuck at home every time our kids are quarantined. The representation of multiracial Columbian culture has been important for Afro-Latinx children to see. And, as TikTok has pointed out to us, the movie's underlying themes of familial pressure and intergenerational trauma speak to several generations at once. But we'll let the adults ponder the heavy issues (and our kids will probably soak them up without realizing it), and instead encourage our kids to have fun taking Encanto into their imaginative play time.
Since this is, after all, a Disney movie, you know the stores are flooded with dolls representing Mirabel and her family, not to mention the jaguar, capybara, toucan, and rats who live with them. We've seen social media posts discussing the demand for dolls and merch representing Luisa, Mirabel's muscle-bound but sensitive older sister, and are pleased to discover that there are appropriately pumped-up Luisa dolls available on Amazon, Walmart, and all the other places Encanto toys are sold. (Sadly, we've yet to see her unicorn donkeys on the market.) There are even excellent versions of Bruno (and his rats) out there.
While we'd really like to have a life-size Casita of our own, we'll have to settle for a toy Encanto house (self-moving furniture and miracle doors sold separately) or one you can build from Lego blocks. If you haven't tired of listening to "Under the Surface" (and crying to "Dos Oruguitas"), you can also set your kids up with a karaoke mic to belt it all out in the living room—maybe in costume!
Below are some of the best Encanto toys, books, and accessories, you can buy right now:
Encanto House Toys
Magical Casa Madrigal Play Set
OK, this house is still really special as dollhouses go: It comes with a Mirabel doll, which activates music when you place her on a couple of locations on the floor. An elevator changes the weather like Tía Pepa; the doors to Antonio's and Isabela's rooms open to play music; and the staircase moves and turns into a slide. Parents will also love the way the whole set can be closed and put away when playtime is over!
To buy: Magical Casa Madrigal Play Set, $79; shopdisney.com.
Antonio's Tree House Play Set
From what we saw in the movie, Antonio's bedroom is by far the most fun—for anyone who loves animals, that is. This set comes with Antonio, a capybara, a toucan, a hammock, and a snake.
To buy: Antonio's Tree House Play Set, $29.99; shopdisney.com.
Isabela's Garden Room Play Set
If flowers are more your kid's speed, then get them Isabela's room. The included doll's feet unlock the door to her floral paradise, and when she steps on the path, more flowers bloom. The set also comes with a vanity, brush, chair, bed, and chandelier.
To buy: Isabela's Garden Room Play Set, $29.99; shopdisney.com.
Lego Disney 'Encanto' The Madrigal House
So many people love the idea of building la Casa Madrigal with their own hands that this 587-piece Lego set is out of stock at most retailers as of this writing. If you're desperate for it, you can pay an Amazon vendor double the listed $49.99 retail price, or just wait for it to be restocked.
To buy: Lego Disney <em>Encanto</em> The Madrigal House, $49.99-$100; amazon.com, shopdisney.com.
Lego Disney 'Encanto' Antonio's Magical Door
This 99-piece Lego set at first looks like a diary, waiting to be opened with the included key. Inside, kids can build an adorable version of Antonio's wild room, complete with a tree, from which his hammock and his capybara's swing hang. It comes with Antonio and Mirabel micro figures, as well as a capybara, jaguar, and frog.
To buy: Lego Disney <em>Encanto</em> Antonio's Magical Door, $19.96; amazon.com.
Lego Disney 'Encanto' Isabela's Magical Door
As with Antonio's door set, kids can unlock and open this pink box to set the stage for Isabela's floral haven. The 114-piece set includes Mirabel, Isabela, and Luisa micro figures, along with three butterflies and a bird.
To buy: Lego Disney <em>Encanto</em> Isabela's Magical Door, $19.96; walmart.com.
Encanto Dolls
'Encanto' Deluxe Doll Set
This set includes a 13-inch Luisa doll, 11-inch Isabela and Mirabel dolls, 7-inch Antonio, and a jaguar, capybara, and toucan — plus an accordion for Mirabel. The dolls are fully posable and have rooted hair (which means real curls on Mirabel and Antonio!). Their clothing is also very detailed, and they're just the right size to interact with any Barbie's in your kid's collection.
To buy: <em>Encanto</em> Deluxe Doll Set, $99; shopdisney.com.
Mi Familia 1.5-Inch Figurine Set
If your kid wants to play with 12 Madrigal family members — Mirabel, Luisa, Antonio, Isabela, Abuela Alma, Bruno, Augustin, Julieta, Pepa, Felix, Dolores, and Camilo — this set of little figures (a Walmart exclusive) makes it easy. This is the only set we've found in which the dads get any representation.
To buy: Disney <em>Encanto</em> Mi Familia 1.50-Inch Figurine Set, $19.97; walmart.com.
Luisa Doll
It's hard to remember if we've ever seen a female doll figure with muscles like Luisa's before. We don't want to put more pressure on her, but she's doing a lot for little girls!
To buy: Luisa 3-Inch Small Doll, $4.44; target.com, walmart.com.
Plush Mirabel Doll
Even the youngest of Encanto fans can cuddle up to this 18-inch Mirabel doll, whose real miracle is that she has no choking-hazard parts but maintains that warm smile children will love.
To buy: Mirabel Plush Doll, $22.99; shopdisney.com.
Mirabel Doll Sing and Play With Accordion
This 11-inch Mirabel doll sings "The Family Madrigal" as her arms move the accordion when you flip a switch on her back. Even when parents are tired of hearing that song conveniently "lose" the batteries, kids can admire the doll's curly hair, elaborate outfit, and removable glasses and hat.
To buy: Mirabel Doll Sing and Play With Accordion, $24.97; amazon.com.
Antonio Madrigal Small Doll
Antonio, the cutest member of the Madrigal family, already has a lot of young fans, both because they can see themselves in him and because they really wish they could talk to birds or ride a jaguar.
To buy: Disney <em>Encanto</em> Antonio Madrigal Small Doll, $3.99; target.com.
Capybara 7-Inch Small Plush
We would definitely watch an Encanto spin-off starring this South American rodent and his spectacular side-eye.
To buy: Disney <em>Encanto</em> Capybara 7-Inch Small Plush, $14.99; walmart.com.
Funko Pop! Disney: 'Encanto' Bruno Madrigal
Several Encanto characters are available in Funko Pop! form, but the expression on this Bruno doll's face is our favorite. Poor guy!
To buy: Funko Pop! Disney: <em>Encanto</em> Bruno Madrigal, $24; amazon.com

Disney 'Encanto' Luisa Dress
Encanto fans can find dresses to play Luisa, Pepa, Mirabel, Isabela, and Dolores on Amazon. We're not sure if you'll want them lifting weights and donkeys in the Luisa outfit, but they can at least pretend!

Other Encanto Toys
Disney's 'Encanto' Candle
It looks like Disney has yet to make its own version of the miracle candle, but we found this Etsy creator doing so. Don't worry about this one flickering out or burning little hands, as it's battery-powered.

Ekids Disney 'Encanto' Karaoke Microphone With Bluetooth Speaker
Set up the EZ Link app on your phone or another Bluetooth device, and with the press of a button, this mic can connect to a playlist of Encanto songs (or another of Disney hits). You're about to talk about Bruno a whole lot more.

'Disney Encanto: Antonio's Amazing Gift'
Your kids can take a break from watching Encanto and instead play it all out in their minds as they read this picture book about Antonio. Again, we're seeing so much spin-off potential here!
To buy: Disney Encanto: Antonio's Amazing Gift, $13.71; walmart.com.
Antonio Time Teacher Watch
This watch won't hop about and nudge your kid to get to the party on time, like Casita's alarm clock, but it will help them learn how to tell time with hands labeled "hour" and "minute."
To buy: Antonio Time Teacher Watch, $22.22 (originally $31.99); walmart.com.
