30+ kids toys and gifts we found during Prime Day that you’ll want to stash for Christmas

The most affordable and spot on Nugget competition that we’ve seen. The quality is fantastic, and after the four foam pieces fill out (it takes less than a day), it looks amazing. It comes in fourt fun colors and the covers can be machine-washed.

You can never go wrong with a classic set of wooden building blocks. This 100-piece set is made from solid wood and comes with nine different shapes for limitless creativity.

With options for both sitting and standing, this grow-with-me activity center is engaging for a wide range of little ones. It comes equipped with three different play modes (explore, learn, and music) 27 different touch points for curious hands to explore. It can also toggle between english and spanish!

Introduce little ones to 100 words in both English and Spanish with Amazon’s #1 best-selling preschool learning toy, the touch activated word book from LeapFrog. They’ll learn colors, animals, mealtime words and more with plenty to explore as they grow.

On a rainy day future you will think, “I’m the best, smartest mom in the entire world.”

The Lovevery Block Set is an entire system of 70 wood pieces, all designed to work together to create 20 stage-based challenges and activities, all in one beautiful wooden box. Build towers and bridges or work hand-eye coordination by lacing blocks with the wooden dowels and string. Four solid wooden people expand their imaginative horizons as they craft houses and buildings. Bonus: The included wooden box is not only ideal for neat and tidy storage, but also converts into a play car! This is the lowest price we’ve ever seen, so definitely don’t miss out!

We’ve tried a lot of kids’ headphones and these reign supreme. The sound doesn’t leak and the volume can be limited to protect little ears. We also love the dual wireless/wired capability which keeps them in action even if the battery dies and the fact they can be linked together so two kiddos can listen or watch the same thing together. The included travel bag and stickers for decorating are the icing on the cake!

More than just a silky soft lovie, Slumberkins are lovable tools that help parents and caregivers build resilient, confident and caring humans. Designed by a therapist and educator, each creature is part of a collection that focuses on helping little ones with their emotions. There’s Fox who can help guide little ones through big changes like a new sibling or big move. Hammerhead is the pal for kiddos who struggle to take a breath and stay calm when things get frustrating. Sloth can help kids start a new routine like back-to-school. Consider your child’s personal needs and find their new BFF! All of the Slumberkins line is up to 30% off!

Screen time can get a bad rap, but there’s a huge difference between a YouTube binge and engaged learning. Osmo turns your little’s iPad into a fun tool—that requires no WiFi!—and bring imagination to life. Pair it with the pretend play costume pieces and silicone rings to practice letter forming, early math skills, create costumes and make magic happen. (For older kiddos ages 6-10 check out this set instead.)

Looking for screen-free entertainment instead? We love the Yoto player for endless hours of screen-free fun. The clever (and delightfully minimalist) audio player allows kids to listen to a huge library of bestselling audiobooks, music and singalongs, educational activities and kids podcasts through super cool content cards they can insert themselves. It even comes with a record your own card that’s perfect for personalized books they can’t get enough of! Bonus: It’s also a nightlight, sleep trainer and white noise machine in one!

The Lovevery Music Set is a complete musical education system disguised as playtime fun. Designed for kids 18 months to 4+ years, it features 5 thoughtfully crafted instruments, from melodic Pat Bells to a whimsical Pan Flute. But it’s more than just instruments—the set includes a working metronome, a Rhythm & Songs Book, and a Play Guide to help parents orchestrate their child’s musical journey.

Crafted sustainably with FSC-certified wood and child-safe materials, this set isn’t just about making noise. It’s a development powerhouse, boosting skills from speech to early math. And parents, breathe easy—all instruments use the pentatonic scale, ensuring sweet harmony even in the most enthusiastic hands. At this price, it’s a rare chance to nurture your little maestro.

With a variety of climbing challenges like ropes, sturdy rungs and hanging ladders as well as a climbing wall, slide and monkey bars, this 6-in-1 Jungle Gym entertains kids through many ages and stages. The engaging design is geared toward ages 18 months to 6 years, but depending on their size, could easily last until they’re seven or eight. The 300 pound weight limit allows multiple kids to comfortably play at once. We also love that it’s sustainably made in the USA and boasts as super helpful customer service if you need help with assembly.

My kids are 11 and 17, and it’s possible some of these instruments still exist in my house somewhere. They’re a fun addition to music time and dance parties or marching in their own neighborhood parade. And bonus! They come with their own wooden box for storage.

With only one way for each pair to fit, this educational puzzle helps little ones with letters and first words as they match the alphabet to pictures.

Order up! Create piled-high, deli-fresh pretend play sandwiches with this 52-piece sandwich counter which includes wooden meat and cheese slices, felt toppings and sandwich roll, wooden dressing bottle, play chips, cookie, and drink cup with insert as well as play money. It’s a super fun way for kids to practice counting, sorting and fine motor skills.

Toddlers love to help with whatever household chores you are doing. A mop, dust pan and broom just their size allows them to clean alongside you.

Toddlers get endless joy and satisfaction through the cause and effect of dropping things. That’s why we absolutely love this fun wooden tower toy! They can spend hours rolling and stacking the six double-sided wooden GO Tots friends discs and make them tumble, twirl, and zigzag down the wooden town house tower. It’s just the right height for use while sitting or standing and easy for a couple kiddos to play with together. 

The chunky 6-piece puzzles from Melissa & Doug are practically a playroom staple.

Perfect for those little Elton John’s in training!

We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again. Magnatiles are one of the greatest toys of all time. For the littles, we love this Arctic animals set which is great on its own but also makes a fun addition to a growing collection.

Or, if they’re more into jungle animals, this is just the ticket!

On a dollars to fun ratio, Stomp Rockets may be the best toy investment I ever made. I mean, who doesn’t love the satisfaction of stomping something into space? Kids will spend literally hours setting them up and chasing them down, experimenting throughout the process with direction and force. This particular set includes three different styles of rockets, adding an additional layer of STEM learning as they learn which ones glide, which ones flip and which ones can turn impressive loops. Trust me when I say you’ll be asking for a turn yourself.

One of the hottest LEGO deals we scoped, the LEGO Star Wars X-Wing Replica brings Luke Skywalker’s iconic starfighter to life with interactive features like an opening cockpit, retractable landing gear, and attack-position wings. Complete with minifigures of Luke, Princess Leia, and General Dodonna (plus R2-D2!), this set offers both display and play value.

We also found this charming set from the Creator collection which can be built into a fox, owl, or squirrel, each with their own woodland accessories.

This top-rated set from Crayola provides just about everything your child needs to get creative, including markers, paper, crayons and more. The storage case makes it easy for travel and ensures all of the 140 pieces have a place to go once they’re done playing.

Kids will get to mix science and art as they grow their own habitat in this terrarium kit. We love that it glows in the dark at night and the chia and wheat grass seeds grow within a few days.

What is Clixo? Well, a better question might be what isn’t it? A flexible, magnetic and modern-twist on building toys, Clixo sets invite kids to create any 2D or 3D structures they can dream up. The pieces, which are made from a durable and eco-friendly material they can bend and twist, feature secure magnets at the ends that click together with an impressive hold. From robots and jewelry to purses and rocket ships, the sky’s the limit on what they create!

The Amazon Fire HD is our top-pick for kid tablets for its durability, controls and price–even when it’s not on sale. It also comes with 1 year of Amazon Kids+ (FreeTime Unlimited), and a 2-year worry-free guarantee.

With a working elevator and 36 included accessories, this four foot tall wooden dollhouse is designed for years of play. The giant size makes it a great option for siblings since they can play without getting in each other’s way.

This one is actually fun for the entire family! The game play is simple (it literally takes less than three minutes to learn) and the illustrations are ahhdorable. But be warned. They may look cute but games can get intense quickly. So much yelling. In the good way, of course.

At home or on-the go, LCD writing tablets are an indispensable way to keep kids occupied without a screen. They can doodle, play drawing games and even practice their handwriting and erase it all at the touch of a button to start again.

Phone selfies are fine, but tiny Instax photos are real treasures. (My tween took her Instax camera to sleepaway camp and finding her cabinmates’ hilarious snaps among her dirty laundry was the best thing ever.) The Instax Mini 11 Camera is a great gift for older elementary kids up through teens, but definitely make sure to get a case, because kids.

The highly-rated Crayola Ultimate Light Board takes their doodles to the next level, illuminating their masterpieces at home or on-the-go. It comes with six washable gel markers that wipe off easily and features a storage drawer to keep things tidy.
