Mom Hack: Prime Day Toys You Can Hide 'Til December
The party theme of “Christmas in July” is traditionally just an excuse to whip out some red and green decor and carols during one of the hottest months of the year. But thanks to Prime Day, midsummer is beginning to look a lot like the holidays, if only for the deals and shopping. Amazon currently is running discounts on literally every area of the site, exclusive to Prime members. But if you don’t actually need anything for yourself, there’s one section you still might want to browse. A ton of toys and games are up to 50% off, and can be stashed until the holidays or a birthday, whichever comes first.
We’ve sifted through the deals for the best, from favorites like Hasbro, Melissa and Doug, and more. But some of these deals are good enough that supplies are going fast—and likely won’t restock before Prime day ends at the stroke of midnight P.T. on Tuesday. We’ll also update this story as more deals go live, but everything above reflects the price for all of Prime Day. You can also shop timed flash deals for the remainder of Prime Day as well.

Corner Play Kitchen
Little details, like a counter that’s supposed to look like granite, an ice maker that dispenses plastic ice cubes, and burners that light up, make this even more realistic for small chefs. There’s even a wireless phone so they can take calls while doing dishes.
