Amazon Prime Big Deal Days are happening this week! I've curated some of my favorite deals for you!

Amazon Prime Day Deals
I'm not a huge shopper and when I shop, I shop for life and use things FOREVER (as evidenced by the hallway table at our house that we've had for over 20 years now).
If you're looking for gift ideas or holiday ideas for your little or big kids, hopefully some of these items are the perfect fit! I get overwhelmed when there are too many deals, so I'm only sharing my top favorites in this post.
I've divided the post into a few categories. You can use the table of contents to click directly to the type of item you're looking for.
I'll update this post as I find more things to share over the next day or so. This is a temporary post and will only be up for a few days.
Here are the categories included in this post:
- Arts & Crafts
- Books
- Building Toys
- Games
- Pretend Play
- Sensory Play
- Travel
- Other
Don't forget to come back at the end of the day to see if I've updated anything!

Arts & Crafts

Art Easel
Art easels are the gift that keeps giving because kids can use them in so many ways- again and again! This one from Melissa & Doug is a classic.

Clay Bead Kit
This is one of my favorite kits for elementary schoolers and older!

Washable Paint
This is the paint we use for everything! We have small containers like these, and then bigger containers for my classes. I love that it is washable!

Puffy Sticker Set
These sticker sets are popular with my kids on road trips and airplane flights and for everyday art activities too. Best part- They are re-usable!
Books

Go Away Big Green Monster
This book is so fun to read again and again! We love reading it all year long, but especially around Halloween.

Goodnight, Goodnight Construction Site
The best book for kids who love diggers and all sorts of trucks!

Little Blue Truck
This book has animals and a truck and a fun adventure in the mud. What's not to love?!

Pete the Cat I Love My White Shoes
I love using this book to talk about colors with toddlers and preschoolers!

The Pigeon Needs a Bath
This story is so funny. It's especially funny to read to kids who don't like to take a bath.

Trashy Town
A must have for every family that has a kid who loves the trash truck. The rhyming story is so much fun to have kids to chant along with you.

The Very Hungry Caterpillar
We read this to my kids so many times that I can read it with my eyes closed. Kids love it and it's great to use when you're talking about caterpillars and butterflies.
Building Toys

Lincoln Logs
This classic building set is great for kids who like to tinker and create!

Pattern Blocks
Pattern blocks are a great learning tool for kids. They build hand-eye coordination and problem solving skills too.

My dinosaur loving students are smitten with this set!

Wooden Blocks
This classic set of blocks has been used for over 16 years at our house. They are still a favorite with all of the toddlers and preschoolers that come over.

Need a building set idea for bigger kids? This is it. My kids will play with these for HOURS.

Kids who love construction vehicles will love directing traffic and playing pretend with this cool construction outfit.

Garbage Truck Play Set
Garbage truck lovers will have a blast with this set! My students especially love the garbage cans.

Dollhouse
This dollhouse is one of the most played with items in our home and in my toddler class! It's such a great way to encourage imaginative play!

Sweep Set
Do you have any kids that love to clean? I do! They'll love this fun way that they can clean alongside you with their own sweep set.

This is a great safe way to explore cutting with knives with young kids. It's a little bit addicting. I like playing with it too!

Thinking Putty
My kids love to carry this putty around with them and pull it out while they're waiting- in lines, at restaurants, in church, etc.

Sensory Play Table
This sensory play table can be stored inside or outside. I love that it works for a big group of kids and can easily be covered too!
Travel

Wagon
This is the MVP of every trip to the beach or every sports game. I'm not sure what I'd do without my wagon. I highly recommend buying one.

Boogie Board
These LCD screens are a great way to get kids writing and drawing. They're perfect to bring "on the go." We especially love using these at church, sporting events, and on the airplane.
Other

Fold out Table
If you host little friends at your house often, this is a great table to pull out for art and snack time! I've used it inside and outside.

Bouncy House
This has been one of our favorite ways to get energy out for years! We have used it inside our house (clearing out furniture) and outside! It was a lifesaver during long rainy winters.

Bentgo Lunch Box
This lunch box is our favorite to bring to school for all of the elementary and middle schoolers!

Easyboxes
These are great for snacks and meals on the go on busy days (or for lunch!). I love that they easily stack as well!
