Our Favorite Black Friday Toy Deals (for Kids From 6 Months to Tweens)
If this year’s holiday shopping already feels particularly stressful, take a deep breath: Waiting until Black Friday to shop for your nieces, nephews, grandkids, and kids is actually a really smart move. There are plenty of great deals on toys and games that will definitely ship in time, despite what you might’ve heard about those (very real) supply-chain issues.
To make sure we’re bringing you nothing but the best gift ideas, we’ve prioritized products we’ve written about before, ones that have been recommended to us by child-development professionals, toy experts, and some of the coolest parents around. Then we searched for the biggest discounts on items from some of our favorite brands and sorted them by age bracket for added ease. Note that everything will be on sale only until supplies last, so don’t linger — especially if you’re looking to score something highly covetable like a Paw Patrol fire truck or anything Pokémon. Lastly, be sure to check back frequently because we’ll be updating this story with new bargains throughout the day.
If you’re looking to score on more than just toys, you can find all of our Black Friday coverage here, and be sure to sign up for our email newsletter for extra sales coverage, too.
