Promising review: "If you are considering this for your kiddo, please buy! My 8-year-old and I had an absoloute blast! She loves every geode. There was one we got that was more solid and she couldn't get it open, so I got to smack it with the hammer and honestly it was not only stress-relieving, but it was also fun and beautiful ! Would be great as a positive outlet for stress or just for kids who love sparkly things. I'd give this more than five stars if I could!" — Mandii Vi Get it from Amazon for $18.

A smart bird feeder with a camera that'll be beloved by parents who want to encourage their kids to enjoy nature the only way they know will resonate with them...
through technology. This spiffy system uses solar power and it's made with recycled materials. The app works with your phone, allowing you to control the mic and camera angle wherever you are.
It also has night vision! I want this so bad I'm gonna throw a fit. HERE IS MY FIT!!! Promising review: "I got way more than I expected from this! I expected this to be a fun little hobby cam that would simply show me bird visitors now and then. It certainly does that, and does it well, but I didn’t expect it to be as feature-rich as it is.
First of all, this rivals many security cams I use! You can select live view and in seconds you can see your surroundings. You have the ability to hit alerts, sirens (for squirrel invaders), a mic to talk, record, light, screenshot, and more. There is room for an SD card for local storage.
This also has AI recognition and I found it pretty spot on. It also has night vision. The feeder is super easy to assemble.
The lid is easy to flip open and it holds a lot of seed, all without impeding the camera itself. The camera has an up/down adjustment which helps with what you want to see on the feeder and/or your yard. The resolution itself is pretty crisp too.
In all, I’m extremely impressed, and it surpasses my expectations! " — H. Klingler Get it from Amazon for $199.99+ (available in three styles and two colors).

High impact, easy to set up, so exciting for kids, but folds up SO SMALL. It’s maybe the size of a folded sweatshirt when it’s packed up?

Check out Avenlur's landing page for more gorgeous kid products and see all that they have for sale this Prime Day! Promising review: "This was easy to put together, my husband and I did it in less than an hour. The packaging is nice and doesn’t feel cheap. It feels very solid and the wood smells like wood, so that’s nice.
Also all the holes are drilled where they are supposed to be and only two holes (of about 64 total) were slightly stripped once fully tightened, but it doesn’t seem to impact the structural integrity and nothing is loose." — Gullyfluff25 Get it from Amazon for $159+ (available in three colors). 13.
Acorn Soup — this cooperation cooking game is sure to be to your *taste* if you're teaching your kids how to take turns. It also provides risk-free family fun because there's no winner (and thus, no frustrated kiddos at the end). To play, pick an ingredient card and place the correct number of each item inside the pot to make Squirrel's favorite meals.
Dinner's served! Number of players: 2–4 Recommended age: 2+ Pieces: 8 recipe cards, 1 wooden spoon, 24 wooden ingredients, instructions, and a parent guide Promising review: "My kiddos (3 and 2) love this game! There are a few different ways to play with different instructions and varying degrees of difficulty, so the game grows with your little one. The ingredient pieces are wooden and feel sturdy in your hand. Even the recipe cards are on thick cardboard, so this game will last you a long time even with players who may not be gentle.
:) My kids love just 'making soup' with it even if we are not playing the game as directed. I love that it helps with number recognition, counting items, identifying items, and recognizing colors. There is no real 'winner' which is fine as we are working on teaching turn-taking right now and not necessarily the idea of win/lose.
This is a great, fun game for toddlers and preschoolers." — CA gal in TX Get it from Amazon for $21.95 .
14. A cloud light so your 11-year-old's bedroom can become a wonderland-worthy sanctuary. Be sure to download the app so you can try out all the color combinations! And to sync to your phone, simply connect the two via Bluetooth Promising review: "My child has been asking for a cloudscape on her wall/celling for some time now and after I saw this product in the reviews I took a risk and bought two of them.
I was shocked at how many accessories for hanging these up and securing the cords to the ceiling and wall came with the product. And the options for different type of hanging and adhesion were plentiful. I was able to hang the clouds up in probably a total of 10 minutes.
After fluffing the clouds a bit and letting my daughter pick the exact right spot we were so happy with the result! The brightness, color options, pattern options, etc were endless. My daughter enjoys having the app on her phone because it makes it fun to create the mood she is looking for, depending one the occasion (she also likes to mess with me by making them blink or change when she’s not in the room and I am in there picking up laundry or what have you). She also enjoys having the timer feature so that she can go to sleep with it on.
Overall, I’m very impressed and highly recommend this product!" — JHay Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available in multipacks). 15.
A Dyson Ball toy vacuum that'll both sound (and work!) like a pint-sized version of your own favorite vacuum. That's right — this thing even has suction! Thanks to this, your little mimic will actually help out around the house while playing pretend. Did this gift just master parenting??

He's 2 years old, and he is really enjoying having his on 'working' vacuum cleaner!!! He seriously plays with it for hours during the day. Turning it on and off and pushing it through the house just like we use our real vacuum.
I would buy this again! It was his favorite gift!" — Amazon Customer Get it from Amazon for $29.75+ (available in three colors). 16.

Mooncat is a woman-owned, vegan, and cruelty-free small business founded by Michelle Lin, who shares on TikTok about how nail polish and art was a symbol of rebellion to her as she wasn't allowed to wear it growing up, which inspired her to create a line of unconventional polishes of her own.

A Melissa & Doug interactive wooden dashboard — a gift Grandpa's F1 baby will be able to "drive" all by themselves, without him having to chase after them. It includes a realistic steering wheel, a scrolling GPS, keys, lights and sounds, and a beeping horn. Promising review: "This thing is awesome! My kids were playing with my husband’s old gaming steering wheel and it ended up breaking apart a week ago.
They were pretty upset because they love pretending to drive so I looked to find another one. There were cheaper options than this one but they were just the plain steering wheel, no buttons or gear shift so I decided to give this one a try. My boys loved it so much that I had to sit with them for hours having them take turns playing so they wouldn’t fight over it.
I didn’t realize there was a little window that shows the car on the road but my 3-year-old LOVES it! He likes to set the timer on the gas gage and when it goes off he lets me know he’s pulling into the gas station (there’s a little gas station in the window part). Anyway, we loved it so much we bought another one the same afternoon so both boys can drive together." — Brittany Get it from Amazon for $36.

5-year-old can drive this thing like a champ, but so can our 5-year-old and we’ve even had our 17-year-old on it before! It is super easy to assemble and super easy to run. We loved it so much we bought a second one!" — Stacy Foreman Get it from Amazon for $129.99 .

.. I have never seen a puzzle quite like this! It’s very impressive and exceeded my expectations already.
The packaging is beautiful inside and out. Everything about it shouts quality. I particularly liked the envelopes inside for the puzzle pieces and mystery.
Heavy weight and substantial. The one holding the 1,000 puzzle pieces stays closed with Velcro! How cool! And the secret mystery envelope has a cool string loop tie. Makes you remember you can’t open it until the puzzle is done.
The whole vibe of The Mystic Maze is quality and fun, and also looks like a challenging puzzle. Looking forward to getting started on this. Certainly a good stay-home fun activity.
Highly recommend!" — Kyle Fletcher Get it from Amazon for $22.99 . 23.

See it in action on TikTok ! Promising review : "Love this lamp so much! So easy to put together and love that they give gels to create your own little mix-and-match of color. The lights are pretty bendy and don’t get too hot even after hours of use (you can still touch and bend them without getting burned).
VERY bright light but creates a great wash for ambient reflective lighting." — Max Ferg Get it from Amazon for $93.49 .
