Prime Day's Toy Deals Include $40 Off Amazon Fire Tablets & So Much More

by Cat Bowen

I don't know about yours, but my kids' holiday lists are a mile long. Thankfully, this year, we are being given an early boost to our shopping with the October Amazon Prime Day, and the best Prime Day toy deals are hitting some of the hottest kid-favorites of the year.

This year, Prime Day falls on Oct. 13 and 14, having been delayed because of the COVID crisis. For a while, consumers were fairly confident that it was simply cancelled for the year, but that's not the case, and there's plenty of deals. Whether your kid is into construction toys, dolls, or pretend play, Amazon has a deal that will suit their needs, and at rock bottom prices. This year, many of us have far less available to spend on gifts, and we need all the help we can get.

My own children have asked for a combination of video games, Barbie dolls and accessories, Hatchimals, art supplies, and of course, LEGO. I am confident that I can get more than a few of these toys through the deals offered on Prime Day. My hope is that the discounts will be large enough that my meager budget doesn't take a beating.

We only include products that have been independently selected by Romper's editorial team. However, we may receive a portion of sales if you purchase a product through a link in this article.

Amazon tells me I bought this for my daughter in 2016. She still plays with it today. Grab this toy.

We all expected big discounts on Amazon devices, but this one is particularly strong, and it comes with a two-year guarantee.

Your kids will get years of play out of this toy. It has tons of accessories, it's made with sturdy materials, and the ratings are great.

Kids love garbage trucks. Why not give them their own? This one has all the bells and whistles, but if it annoys you, you can always take the batteries out.

You'll Wish You Had This

Oh my goodness, this is cool. It's a toy that plays with an app, and it teaches kids how to spell and proper grammar. I kind of want it to practice my Russian.

A Classic Rite of Passage

I loved this thing as a kid. I loved it so much I forced my brother to ride it until he puked.

A Little Louder For Those In The Back
