Amazon is great for many reasons: first and foremost is Prime, which guarantees free same-day delivery on a lot of this stuff. Another is selection, because as we all know, this site has it all. This summer, the buzz is all about Polly Pocket, and a lot more toys from your youth like walkie talkies, Tamagotchis and Legos that are burning up the best-sellers chart. And don’t forget STEAM and STEM toys for the technically inclined, as well water toys for pool days.

And thanks to Amazon posting all their products reviews, good, bad or brutally ugly (I once read a review that said, “This candle smells like something died and was then covered in cinnamon”), you can get honest feedback from other customers and purchase accordingly. We’ve gathered 12 of the best toys on Amazon right now so you can keep the troops thoroughly entertained no matter how long summer seems to last this year.

Open it up to reveal Polly and Lila mini figurines enjoying a safari adventure complete with monkeys, a hammock, a zipline and a family of meerkats.
