'I buy everything for my toddler on Amazon. Here are the 13 best products to shop in the sales.'

I hate to be this person, but it's 11 weeks till Christmas. EL-EV-EN weeks to get all the Christmas shopping done.

And the first thing you need to know about me is that I'm pretty lazy.

Okay, not lazy, so much as the idea of standing in a store trying to figure out what to buy for my child — or as a present for someone else’s child — is not my idea of a fun time.

So I've become obsessed with buying everything on Amazon. I'm talking practical things like nappies and baby wipes, but there are also some affordable kids' toys that my daughter plays with every day.

And they have a massive sale on right now.

Watch: POV: Your kids get their first phones in 2024. Post continues below.

Amazon Australia's Prime Big Deal Days sale is running from October 8-13 so I thought I'd turn my online shopping addiction into a public service and share the items I’ve bought that were actually worth the money — plus the ones I currently have in my cart for Christmas.

(Disclaimer: to take advantage of discounts, you need an Amazon account. You can sign up for a free 30-day trial here).

Here are my recommendations.

The best toddler toys and items to buy on Amazon in Australia.

Steam Studio Magnetic Tiles, $99.99. (on sale for $67.98)

Without a doubt, these are the best things I've ever bought my three-year-old. She's played with these independently every single day for months, making castles, houses and hospitals for her toys. There's a tonne of different ranges to choose from, and they’re great for practising counting, colours and fine motor skills.

This PicassoTiles 100-piece magnetic kit set is also on sale for a whopping 54 per cent discount, so definitely work checking these out, too.

Yoto Player, $149.95 (on sale for $119.99)

These Yoto Players are bloody brilliant and a perfect Christmas present if you're stuck on what to get your little one.

It's an audio player, a white noise machine, a radio, and a nightlight all in one and I am equally as obsessed as my daughter is. When you insert different story cards — think Toy Story, Peppa Pig, Disney sleep stories, you name it — it lights up with a little picture that correlates to the story and they can adjust the volume and the chapter as they like. Or they can switch it to the radio setting and just have music as they nod off, do homework etc.

It's perfect if you're trying to encourage screen-free time in a way they'll actually enjoy, and definitely worth getting when there's a discount as the story cards will cost you extra.

Wooden magnetic fishing game, $39.99 (on sale for $33.19)

I was worried about this one because of all the little parts, but this has been the best way to teach my daughter the alphabet and letter recognition in a way that doesn't make her want to fall asleep.

JBL junior wireless headphones, $69.95 (on sale for $48).

I bought these for a one-hour plane trip, because I was convinced my daughter would scream the entire time unless she could watch Bluey. Thankfully, they worked a treat.

They're Bluetooth headphones, so you can connect to a phone or tablet, and they're so handy for long road trips or plane travel.

Sorting Dinosaurs, $19.99.

I bought these on a whim when my daughter had a nasty daycare bug and I knew we'd be stuck inside. One year on, she still uses them every day. And I mean every single day. My house looks like it's populated by these tiny, colourful dinosaurs.

I've also re-bought these several times, as they make for a great birthday gift. They're not currently on sale but I just had to include them because they're bloody cheap and I promise your kid will love them.

They come with tongs and matching coloured cups to practice sorting and fine motor skills, but they’re also great for imaginative play. She takes them in the bath, puts them in her dollhouse, builds houses for them with the magnetic tiles, the list goes on.

Crayola washable kids paint, $19.99 (on sale for $13.99).

I never thought I'd be an arts and craft mum (because, well, the mess) but it's a super affordable activity you can do at home.

We often stick up a cheap plastic shower curtain (like this one) and let her go crazy painting on that. Then, we hose it down at the end, ready for next time.

Unicorn tea party set, $37 (on sale for $29.99).

I bought this four months ago and my daughter pulls it out every day.

Even better, the cups are stainless steel, which means they're actually waterproof (unlike the sad beige baby wooden ones you often see) if you’re brave enough to let them practice pouring!

Other Amazon Prime Big Deal Days products.

Little Tikes Story Dreamtime Machine, $70 (on sale for $40.40).

How cute is this little projector for bedtime that comes with three stories? I immediately added it to my cart.

These are so awesome for open-ended play.

Play-Doh always comes in handy for stocking fillers or for presents.

These multi-stage scooters are so clever, so it's worth getting early while there's such a decent discount!

Gabby's Dollhouse Purrfect Dollhouse, $119.99 (on sale for $67).

undefined

I have a goddaughter obsessed with all things Gabby's dollhouse that I am eyeing this off for. So cute!

Tamagotchi — Toy Story X Tamagotchi, $44.20 (on sale for $16.35).

Remember these glorious things? I was absolutely obsessed (until I wasn't and left it in the bottom of my school bag for six months), but they are so nostalgic and they've now had a Pixar glow up.
