50+ Best Toys & Games On Sale During October Prime Day
This is your sign to get a jump on holiday shopping this year.
It may not even be Halloween yet, but shopping for the holiday season is starting now. Why? Because Amazon's "Big Deals Day" — basically October Prime Day — is currently underway. The retailer is offering deals to Prime members on toys for kids of all ages that will undoubtedly be going on a lot of holiday lists, so why not get an early start on your holiday shopping this year? You'll save money and avoid the stress of last-minute procrasti-shopping.
Below, you'll find significantly discounted popular toys for under $50, along with some bigger-ticket items under $70, like LEGO sets and Barbie dolls with accessories. There are plenty of options for parents who want their kids to get in touch with their artistic or intellectual side, while others offer outdoor fun for the whole family. Some of these will even help your kiddo sleep at night — how great is that?
So, if you’re interested in a good deal and getting ahead on shopping for the holiday season (or you just want to shop in general!), be sure to take a look at the toys and games rounded up below.
01Walkie-Talkies With a 3-Mile Radius
These walkie-talkies are recommended for kids ages 3 to 12, so they’re fun for siblings with an age gap. Even parents could get in on the fun! They have a three-mile range, so your kiddos could use them in the backyard, on a hike, or during a game of hide-and-seek.
02Pokémon Lego Set
LEGO sets are generally pretty pricey, so this deal on a (seemingly difficult) Pikachu set is pretty good. Plus, the finished product is a collector’s item, so they can build this and keep it forever.
03Melissa & Doug Art Easel
Every kid needs one of these, honestly. And since Melissa & Doug products last forever, you could buy this now and pass it down to younger siblings.
04Doctor Barbie Playset
Thanks to the new Barbie movie, Barbie is making a comeback with kids of all ages. This Barbie is a doctor with her own clinic, where she can treat dolls with all sorts of injuries. The gift shop is an adorable touch.

13Crayola Sprinkle Art Shaker

The artist will outline their drawing with a glue pen and then put the sprinkles over the glue to make the picture come alive.

It's portable and easy to manage.

18Fisher Price Little People Yellow School Bus
Little People toys are classic. Kids between 1 and 5 can help the figures board the bus and pull them to school with the handle, which is stored underneath the bus. It’s a fantastic option for kids learning how to walk.

20Toddler Balance Bike
If you think your toddler is ready for a big kid bike, this is a great one to start with because of its thick, stabilizing wheels. It’s actually made for kids as old as 5, so it can be used for a while. It’s available in different colors, and the license plate is customizable.

This makeup kit comes with actual makeup made of safe, water-soluble materials you can wash off with soap and water. The pink case it all comes in can also be reused for any makeup purchased in the future. Makeup can be pretty expensive — even if it’s made for play — so this being discounted by more than 50% is awesome.
27Kids Bluetooth Headset
If your kid has a tablet but you don’t want to stick earbuds in their ears, these headphones are perfect since they have Bluetooth and safety settings. They have a 19-hour battery life, too, so they'll keep your kids entertained on road and airplane trips!

There can never be enough squishy toys on the market. If you buy this from Amazon, you can get it for a steep discount and chose from either the Doe or Dot doll.
37Amazon Fire HD 8 Kids tablet
It makes sense that Amazon would have a discount on their own products during Prime Days, but this discount is particularly good because the Fire tablet can be used for so many things — learning, entertainment, music, etc. Plus, those Bluetooth headphones would pair perfectly with this.

41Squishmallow 5-Inch Plush Mystery Box 5-Pk
Squishmallows are another typically expensive gift, and it can be difficult to justify spending a lot of money on a mystery pack like this since you don’t know if your child will love it. But since it’s on sale, you can try it out. You can also open up the box beforehand and pick out Squishmallows to give to more than one child in your life.

If you love RuPaul’s Drag Race, or maybe watch it with your kid, get them this Little People set and watch them put on their own fashion shows with their dolls.

50Monkey See Monkey Poo Game for Kids
Grotesque, maybe, but fun. This is an actual game, but your kids will probably mostly enjoy the poop-flinging part. (There are few things kids find funnier than bathroom humor!)
