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.

An in-ground basketball hoop would make an incredible gift for the holidays, and this one is majorly discounted.

19. Cool Garbage Truck
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.
20. 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.
