11 Prime Day Kids Games and Toy Deals
As a parent, enduring the dog days of summer is tough. No matter how many day camps you enroll your children in, how many playdates you arrange, or how often you hit the town pool, a kid will inevitably come to you whining, “I’m booooored.”
That’s just one reason to take a look at our selection of the top Prime Day deals on toys beloved by Wirecutter experts (and their equally exacting kiddos) — toys that are likely to provide hours of fun and enrichment for children of all ages.
As we do during every major sale event, we’re surfacing only the best deals on items that have already undergone our rigorous vetting and testing processes.
This year, there’s another reason to consider grabbing toys on sale this Prime Day: When the holiday shopping season arrives in a few months, those same games, gadgets, and playthings may cost more due to tariffs — if, that is, you can even find them on store shelves or online.
“Toy makers, children’s shops, and specialty retailers are pausing orders for the winter holidays as the import taxes cascade through supply chains,” The New York Times reported in April after President Trump announced higher tariffs on goods imported from China earlier that month.
So even though Prime Day does not historically offer the year’s lowest prices on games, building sets, dolls, and such, the peace of mind that comes with getting your holiday shopping done on the early side may be worth a few extra bucks.
