The Best Amazon Prime Day Deals on Toys Are Finally Here
Amazon
While the most skilled shoppers and planners among us might already know this, buying kids' toys during huge sales events like Amazon Prime Day, which is now running from June 21-22, is a parenting move that will save you more than just money. Not only can you score discounts on all-time faves like LEGO kits, doll houses, and slime, but you can also set yourself up for a summer free from boredom, friends' birthday parties with no last-minute present scrambles, and even that far-off holiday season with less stress. And while there were tons of early Prime Day toy deals over the past few days, the best have finally started rolling out now that the two-day shopping event is in full swing.
We had a chance to preview the list of the best toy deals available for Amazon Prime Day 2021 (really, days), and it is full of gems your kids will love at prices that are sometimes more than 50 percent off. Got a dinosaur-obsessed tot in the house? You're set with nearly half-off. Looking for games to entertain your tween on a rainy day? They've got those on sale too. How about some STEM toys to inspire your budding engineers? Handled.
Of course, the full list of Prime Day toy offers is long, and deals pop up and sell out throughout this event - which makes it a fun hunt if you're into that sort of thing, but also sometimes overwhelming if you're, say, taking care of children all day too. That's what we're here for, with this little cheat sheet for some of the best deals on every toy your offspring have dreamed of, and many they haven't yet.
When you're looking at toy deals on Amazon Prime Day, you may notice some smaller brands you're unfamiliar with mixed in with the Legos and Barbies. Consider this your opportunity to discover smaller toy makers whose products have equally high customer reviews (and will equally please the littles). Speaking of opportunities, while these deals are available to you even if you're not an Amazon Prime member, if you sign up for a free 30-day trial now, you'll get free shipping on all your orders.
These are the deals available as of this writing, but we'll be updating this list as soon as new discounts pop up throughout the week, both during and post Prime Day 2021.
