All the best Prime Day deals to shop for your grandkids while they're on sale this year
As a grandparent, you don't really need a reason to buy gifts for the little ones in your life. You can simply see something you'd think they'd love and pick it up as a nice surprise. But let's say you did need a reason. Great news, we found it. It's Prime Day 2024. This year, there are tons of deals on items that have our jaws hitting the floor. Like, for instance, the all-time low prices on Apple products, but that is truly not where the deals end. There are loads of deals on household essentials and kitchenwares, and while we're all for a practical purchase, isn't it a bit more fun to buy something a little less predictable? Especially when you have such a great excuse: it was on sale!
Christmas is not technically around the corner, but it's never a bad time to buy gifts — especially when they're steeply discounted. We've pulled together a list of our favorite kids' toys and gadgets that have a deal worth shopping for this Prime Day. Many of the items are staples in my home with two small kiddos, while others are highly recommended by teachers, play experts and other parents, not to mention the thousands of reviewers who've left their thoughts. Have a look below at some of the best toys and gadgets to buy your grandkids this Prime Day.
A great one for little kids and big kids alike, these original Magna-Tiles are a fan favorite in my house. With plenty of knock-off brands that can get the job done, it's easy to wince at the price of these magnetic wonders, but the knock-offs are notably different. So my parenting hack is to scoop up the real thing while they're on a 30% discount!
This won't be right for everyone's home but if your space allows it, what better way to get through those winter months or rainy days than giving the little ones in your life an indoor jungle gym to get all their energy out, even when the weather is bad.
A bit of a "big kid gift" but at this outrageous price for AirPods, you can feel good about such a high-tech gift for younger kids.
This is the deal I'm recommending all my friends with little ones scoop up before it sells out. This easy-to-use audio player is great for kids to operate on their own, accessing stories, music, and educational information without a flashing screen. It's a fun way to entertain that the kids can manipulate themselves.
Turn up the volume on playtime with this cute little karaoke mic that syncs easily with Bluetooth devices because what toddler doesn't need to be amplified?! Warning: The parents of the children you gift this to may no longer speak with you after this purchase.
You often can't go wrong with a Lego set and this X-wing fighter replica comes with iconic figurines including Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia and General Dodonna.
This may seem like more of a gift for the grown-ups, but this is one for kids and parents alike. Parents love it because it takes the sunscreen application fight down a notch, and kids love it because it's easy enough for them to use and apply their own sunscreen when they're big enough. And for anyone in the "I can do it myself" phase, you know what a win that is.
We know this is a Jeep wagon, but it is the Cadillac of all kids wagons. Complete with an organizer for the grown-up stuff and a cooler, this push/pull wagon gives your kids three ways to ride, including a car seat, and still folds up to fit in your trunk.
For a fun little twist on retro-style video games, kids can choose from a handful of games to keep themselves busy onroadtrips or during moments when Mom and Dad just need a break. It keeps the games off the phone.
This one's a classic that will hit any millennial right in the feels. Who doesn't love a classic board game that gives you just the slightest bit of anxiety? Challenge your kids to one you might actually win with this old favorite.
Capture memories the old school way with a film camera even young kids will get a kick out of. This one comes with ten photo sheets.
Perfect for kiddos ages 8 to 12, this bracelet-making kit provides hours of fun. It's the perfect creative outlet that gets kids away from screens for a bit and gives the ultimate summer era vibes.
These are the biggest hit at our community pool and you'll quickly see why. You'll never have to tie another water balloon or clean the yard of little plastic bits again. These magnetic, refillable water bombs keep the fun going for hours.
If your kiddo has mastered the Rubik's cube it's time to take a stab at this award-winning shape-shifting box toy, which morphs into more than 70 configurations.
Kids and adults alike will get a kick out of this juggling game that develops motor skills and offers tons of tricks to perfect.
This may feel like a weird one, but if there is a Tik Tok-ing teen in your life, they will be jazzed to get their hands on a jar of this trendy brand's signature cream.
Just in time to get into the Olympic spirit, you can gift this Career Barbie soccer doll for kids ages 3 and up.
There's no doubt this one will bring immense joy to the little ones in your life! This ride-on truck comes equipped with a parental remote control so the grown ups can stay in control.
