Tonies are one of the coolest things in the world of toys right now that don't require a screen. This easy-to-use audio player plays songs and tells the story of each figure that is placed atop it. Curious adventurers and young scientists will adore this starter set that includes a National Geographic astronaut, a dinosaur and more actors from this wonderful world we live in. Ages 3+.
This set is currently at the lowest price we've seen all year, so now's the time to get in on the hype.
"I'm obsessed... and so is my toddler," wrote a psyched parent. "This is one of the coolest toys I've ever experienced. I love everything about it. It was super-easy for me to get it set up, and it works exactly how it's supposed to. My toddler figured it out right away and loves getting to spend time with it. ... This has been an amazing tool for quiet time during the day instead of the TV. ... Both the durability of the Tonies and the songs and stories are excellent."
Your kid can build cityscapes and towns with these colorful magnetic tiles. This set comes with 100 pieces, which includes 98 tiles in 10 different shapes, two magnetic car bases and an idea book that's filled with ways to use the tiles. Ages 3+.
These tiles go on sale periodically and are typically priced at $50, so you likely won't find a better deal even if you wait.
One happy parent wrote that these tiles provide "fun for hours," and added: "My children love playing with these magnet tiles. There are enough to build things from a large tower to a house to a castle. There is also a base with wheels, if you want to build a car, bus or train. My children are 2 and 4."
Artsy kids will love doodling on this electronic drawing pad. While crayons and markers are great, this waste- and mess-free tablet is ideal for airplanes, restaurants or the car. It erases with the touch of a button and comes with a stylus.
Plus, this rainbow tablet has a battery life of about up to six months — no daily charging required!
The price bounces up and down frequently, so its Prime Day price is a great time to catch it at a low!
Building this beautiful Dreamhouse is only half the fun; then comes decorating and playing with Barbies once it's fully assembled. Seriously, Whole worlds open up during pretend play. The 70-piece set includes everything a doll could need including a frying pan for the stove complete with sizzling sound effects and a working elevator that can fit up to four dolls. Ages 3+.
At $185, this Barbie buy is the cheapest it's been in over 60 days.
This nostalgic parent reported: "My 6-year-old daughter received this as a gift and she loved helping me set it up. Great instructions and everything just snaps into place. Her and her older sister (age 9) have had hours of imaginative play with this fun dream house. That makes me very happy since my girls would usually rather play on their iPads in the digital world. It’s refreshing that Barbie keeps their interest like it did mine when I was a girl."
Is there a kid out there who didn't have some version of this iconic red scooting toy? Not only does this ride-on help with the development of gross and fine motor skills, but it helps to teach children about letters, numbers, shapes, colors and opposites.
This Prime Day price is the lowest we've seen in the last 30 days, so this is a legit deal.
"Awesome first two-wheel toy for kids," wrote one fan. "Very stable because the tires are very wide, so it doesn't tip over. Nice music that isn't annoying for the parents."
Goofballs ages 5 to 100 will have loads of fun with this one. Whether as entertainment for a barbecue this summer or during a birthday you're hosting, this exciting (if messy) game is a sure hit.
One teacher called it "a perfect mix of suspense, laughter, and messy fun. I purchased this game for an incentive for my students during state testing."
Note: Whipped cream is not included, so be sure to add a can or two to your cart at checkout this Prime Day.
Tennis! Basketball! Soccer! With this 832-piece kit, they can build the sports center of their dreams for Niko, Leo, Ivana and Hanna (included). Ages 8+.
Remember those $100 Lego sets I mentioned earlier? This is one of them, but it's kindly on sale for less than $80. That's a bargain for Lego sets of this size and difficulty level these days.
"My 10-year-old daughter stayed up all night and built it," wrote one five-star reviewer. "I was impressed by the size of it! Bigger than most Lego Friends sets."
If your child loves to watch you cook in the kitchen, they'll flip over this kitchen appliance toy set. This petite pink set has everything they need to make a pretend breakfast, complete with a pop-up toaster, a coffee machine that makes sounds and a spinning mixer. Ages 3+.
This set periodically goes on sale, but it hasn't been affordable since April, so you won't want to wait to add it to your cart.
"This is a great toy for young children. They can brew 'coffee' and serve/drink it. The toaster pops the toast and the blender stirs. What fun they have pretending to cook like the adults! The toys are the right size for small hands and sturdy enough to take some abuse," wrote one customer.
Mega Bloks are a childhood staple that never go out of fashion. Perfect as an indoor activity on rainy days, the set of 60 plant-based blocks will encourage little ones to use their imagination while improving motor skills. Ages 1+.
Even at just $4 off, this set is a great buy, given that the price doesn't drop very often.
One parent of a 1-year-old reported: "He loves them. They are big enough that he is able to put them together on his own (and for us to not worry about them being a choking hazard) and an attractive enough color that my wife and I do not mind them being strewn around. We also feel better about him putting them in his mouth since they are plant-based."
Builders-in-training will adorable this play toolbox from VTech. Inside they'll find a removable electronic tray, a toy drill, a hammer, a wrench, nails and screws — it also plays over 125 songs and sounds. Ages 2+.
One parent wrote: "As a mom; toy storage is key. This toy is easy for little hands and when they are all done, kids and parents can simply pack all the pieces and store inside the box."
Pit stops have never been so exciting. Hot Wheels fans will be thrilled to move their cars (one is included!) through this tricked-out tire shop. Push cars under, spin them up and roll them down. And don't forget to gas up! Ages 4+.
"I bought it for my son’s fifth birthday and he loves it," one happy customer commented. "It hooks up to all his other Hot Wheel City items!"
What kid isn't obsessed with animals? This simple set includes 40 magnets, divided into two boxes: dinosaurs and modern-day animals. Shoppers say kids love using them on the fridge, magnet boards, even a metal lunchbox. Get ready to hear lots of growls and moos.
Right now, the Prime Day price is the lowest available on the web.
"My very mobile 18-month-old loves animals and dinosaurs. I thought these would be fun. He loves moving them from the fridge to the dishwasher and back to the fridge and making animal noises for each magnet while playing... They've been a hit for a few months now," wrote one shopper.
