With summer vacations still stretching off into the distance, taking advantage of Prime Day board game deals or snagging some discounted toys could be a very smart move. The WIRED Reviews team has a gaggle of kids of all ages between us, and most of us are still big kids at heart, so we’ve tried a lot of board games and toys over the years.

Some of the best family board games are on sale for Prime Day. You can also find deals on some of the best STEM toys. I have handpicked a selection of WIRED-tested and approved board games and toys right here, and I'll keep adding to this list throughout the Prime Days sales from July 8 to 11. It's time to stock up on fun! If you're looking for more Prime Day deals, we have a list of the very best, which we update throughout the event, and there's a Prime Day liveblog, too.
