Amazon's Holiday Toy List has Lightning deals on toys each day. Today's items include:

• 4p - Imaginext Rescue City Center (Frustration Free Package)

My daughter received Spot It for her 6th birthday and she loves it. She is good at spotting details so it is a good game for us to play together. The recommended age on Spot It is 7-12, but she has been playing it since she was 6. The Spot It Junior Animals games is designed for younger children and has an age range of 4-15.



There are also deals available on K'nex:

We purchased the Atomic Coaster and other K'nex ride sets earlier this month as a Deal of the Day and have it put away for Christmas or our daughter's birthday. Since we put them away, I cannot offer a review of the product.

*Counter to the holiday deal trends, Amazon has a scrooge deal. They have raised the minimum on FREE Super Saver Shipping to $35 from $25. Fortunately we are Amazon Prime members, so this has a minimal impact on our family. Personally, I love having Amazon Prime. I find that I no longer overbuy in an effort to meet the minimum of Super Saver Shipping. I also was unable to take advantage of many of the Lightning Deals since they did not hit the shipping minimum. We also use the streaming video several times a month. They have a great selection of PBS and Nickelodeon shows for the young kids including Dinosaur Train, Dora the Explorer, Wonder Pets, and many more. You can try Amazon Prime with a 30 day free trial. After that it is $79/year. An affordable way to try Amazon Prime shipping for the holidays is through Amazon Mom.
