It’s refreshing that Barbie keeps their interest like it did mine when I was a girl."

This Prime Day price is the lowest we've seen in the last 30 days, so this is a legit deal.

"This is a great toy for young children. They can brew 'coffee' and serve/drink it. The toaster pops the toast and the blender stirs. What fun they have pretending to cook like the adults! The toys are the right size for small hands and sturdy enough to take some abuse," wrote one customer.

One parent of a 1-year-old reported: "He loves them. They are big enough that he is able to put them together on his own (and for us to not worry about them being a choking hazard) and an attractive enough color that my wife and I do not mind them being strewn around. We also feel better about him putting them in his mouth since they are plant-based."
