Leapfrog toys that help kids learn

Not all toys are created equally. Leapfrog comes up with toys that are fun for kids but also help them learn everything from shapes to numbers. This picnic basket (only $9.49!) is great for the younger set (6 months to about 3 years old) and helps them learn how to sort with shapes and colors. For the next age group (18 months to 4 years old), this 100 Words Book (also just $9.49) is a staple toy. It introduces over 100 words and is an interactive tool that talks to the kids to help them learn. For even older kids (5 to 7 years old), this globe is an awesome gift. It teaches habitats, cultures, and animals through its interactive interface and even displays videos with fun characters that play quizzes and games for added learning. Plus, it’s currently on sale for 54% off.

Board games for the whole family to play together

For older kids, Catan Junior is a must-have for those 6 years and older. If you have played Catan as an adult, you know how much fun this strategy game can be. The junior version is just as fun and geared towards kids, making it fun for kids and parents alike. At 44% off, it’s a steal at just $19.49.
