Best Lego Deals
We used to buy my 6-year-old son toys of all sorts at the holidays, only to watch many of them collect dust. This year, he told us he only wants Legos (oh, and this massive dart gun he promises will not be used to shoot our pets). Thankfully, there are a bunch of great Lego deals at Amazon.
Lego Sunflowers
Amazon
Our office at home is full of Lego flowers that my son has built for my wife in the past few years. These sets are pretty easy for kids of all ages to handle and end up making lovely decorations. This 191-piece kit leaves you with two bright yellow sunflowers that are 9.5 inches tall.
Lego Star Wars: The Phantom Menace Mos Espa Podrace Diorama
Amazon
The Lego Star Wars line is celebrating 25 years and just added a few new sets aimed at collectors. This impressive 718-piece scene from Star Wars: The Phantom Menace shows Anakin Skywalker trying to pass Sebulba during the movie’s intense podracing sequence.
Lego Creator 3-in-1 Forest Animals
Amazon
The only bad thing about Legos is that once you’ve built a set, you’re kind of done with it. The best-selling Lego Creator sets remedy this by giving you three unique builds with a single set of bricks. This 667-piece kit can be built as a lifelike fox, squirrel, or owl.

Barbie DreamHouse
Amazon
Barbie DreamHouse is still one of the most awe-inspiring toys on the market, more than six decades after its first edition. The latest model has over 75 pieces, including a ton of furniture and the iconic three-story twisty slide that leads to Barbie’s pool.

Mattel’s annual holiday Barbie is an item collector’s look forward to every Christmas. This time, she’s decked out in a sparkling one-shoulder gown that’s as festive as it is stunning.

Best Board Game Deals
Amazon has so many board games on sale right now, making it the best time to add something to your game night rotation. From family classics like Scattergories and Connect 4 to grown-up favorites like Catan and Ticket to Ride, here are the deals to grab.
Clue Board Game with Card-Revealing Mirror
Amazon
You can only get this edition of Hasbro’s timeless Clue board game at Amazon — and it has a killer feature (pun intended). Instead of stuffing the three cards that reveal the mystery into a flimsy envelope, you slide them into an ornate standing mirror that reveals them when the time comes.
Wicked Monopoly
Amazon
If the Wicked movie has left your kids fully obsessed with the Land of Oz, this new edition of Monopoly is a must. Tokens include Elphaba’s hat, broom, and bottle, along with Glinda’s crown and trunks, while Munchkin homes and emerald castles replace the houses and hotels. It’s so loaded with whimsy that the dice are even green.

Best Toy Deals for Babies and Toddlers
Eye-popping colors, soothing sounds, and movement are prioritized in the best gifts for babies and toddlers. A few of our favorite deals on toys for the littlest ones on your list include this Fisher-Price record player and this Peppa Pig cruise ship.
Peppa Pig Cruise Ship Multilevel Playset
Amazon
Peppa Pig is still delighting preschoolers and their tired parents. This cruise ship playset stands 15 inches tall and has two decks for Peppa, Rohan Rhino, and Captain Otter to roam and play across. One person called it “truly a gem in our toy collection.”
Fisher-Price Rockin’ Record Player
Amazon
As a huge vinyl nerd, I’m so bummed this toy wasn’t around when my son was a toddler. This adorable Fisher-Price record player plays 20 different songs from five little discs that remind me of Taylor Swift’s color variants. It even has a tiny display stand to hold the records upright.
Little Tikes 3-Foot Trampoline
Amazon
Let your little one burn off some of their energy in a safe way with the classic Little Tikes trampoline. It’s suitable for kids ages 3 to 6 and has a sturdy handlebar that keeps them from falling over while they bounce.

MGA Pixel Petz Corgi

Marvel Spider-Man Real Webs Ultimate Web Blaster

Instead of shooting what was essentially Silly String like the older models, this new Spider-Man Web Blaster uses a fluid that creates more realistic-looking webs. In addition to one pouch of Real Webs fluid, it comes with a refillable water pouch for endless blasts.

Amazon
This kit has 50 different slime supplies in the box, including 18 vibrant colors of slime, 12 tubes of glitter in different colors, and a bunch of other mix-ins. There’s even some glow-in-the-dark powder thrown in.
