Most parents and grandparents will do whatever it takes to give their little ones a Christmas to remember. But sometimes the toys that kids ask for come at a cost, with a price that's pretty hard to justify. That is, unless you shop smart by snagging these Cyber Monday toy deals at Amazon and Walmart. Yep, Christmas came early because major markdowns are happening on Lego, Barbie and other top toy brands.

Maybe the following toys are on their Christmas list, maybe they're not. Either way, kids of all ages will be happy to see any of these bestsellers on Christmas morning. Snap up a Melissa & Doug ice cream counter for half off, a kid-friendly digital camera for less than $30 and a Tonies starter set for the best price we've seen since earlier this year. That's not even half of it — this list also includes a handful of budget-friendly buys that make great stocking stuffers, including those multi-colored tubes that kiddos can't get enough of.

I get it: This year's sales have been overwhelming (to say the least), so I've sifted through all of the Cyber Monday sales to ensure the toys you're buying are worth every penny. These toy deals are the best across the board — shop now and save.

Santa Claus is comin' to town! Build a mini sleigh loaded up with toys and gifts, along with four reindeer and St. Nick himself. It'll keep little builders busy on Christmas morning — and inspire them to start counting the days until Santa's back again. 

Lego's seasonal builds keep selling out, but this one's still in stock (for now). Get it while you can for 30% off!

Stretch and connect these multi-colored tubes to create different shapes, formations or, ya know, just one absurdly long tube. They make a loud popping noise when pulled apart and a satisfying crinkle when crunched back together — both of which are loved by kids of all ages. "These puppies have been bent and stretched every which way and there isn't any sign of the material breaking apart," one happy parent wrote, adding that they "love this product and so does my 4-year-old."

Wrap up this four-pack or divvy them up between stockings. Now over 40%, it's a solid deal any way you slice it.

You're always saying that you'd love to see the world from your kid's eyes — and, well, now you'll be able to. They'll be able to snap photos and videos for up to two hours straight, which they can later customize with colorful filters and frames. This comes pre-loaded with a 32GB SD card — you can help them import their pictures to your computer, so they can print them for all to see! 

Choose from six protective covers, from a pink cat (shown here) to a blue dino. All of 'em are on sale for up to 30% off during Cyber Monday, but prices vary.

Turn basic doodles into 3D creations. Crank up the speed to fill something in or dial it back when working on itty-bitty details. More than 30,000 Amazon shoppers picked up a pen last month, with one customer raving that the "possibilities are endless" and "you get so much for the price." 

Get this kit, which includes a pen, charging cable and three colors of plastic filament, for less than $30. That's the lowest price we've seen since last Cyber Monday!

Like Dodgeball, but with squishy burritos. The rules are simple: Deal out cards, pass 'em around the table and try to get three of a kind. If a player gets three burrito cards, they grab the plushies at the center of the table and mimic the action on their cards — a burrito duel, brawl or all-out war. Whoever gets hit by a burrito loses points.

It's chaotic, highly competitive and a whole lot of fun for the whole family (ages 7 and up). Grab it now for an all-time low price, then bust it out after the Christmas festivities wrap.

The weather outside is frightful, but when it's more delightful, send your little ones outside to explore with these kid-friendly binoculars. The eyepiece is bigger than most (about 3x the size of others), so they can comfortably look through the magnified lens. 

One five-star fan said they were a major "parent win." "He was able to look at everything from leaves and rocks to butterfly wings with a closer view. Plus they are light enough for him to carry without complaining," they continued. Get 'em for nearly half off.

One ice cream cone coming right up! This bestselling wooden ice cream counter looks like the real thing, complete with different ice cream flavors, toppings, cones and a scooper to dish 'em out. It even comes with pretend dollar bills, so they can some money once they set up shop. 

"All of the pieces fit snug and stay together," one glowing reviewer wrote. "Compared to similar toys which use weak magnets to hold the ice cream cone together poorly, my child loves that when stacking all the pieces up high it does not fall apart." It's half off for Cyber Monday, so scoop up this deal while it lasts!

With every fold, this plastic cube will take a new shape — quite literally. Transform it into a star, triangle or one of the other 70-plus shapes. "The fact that it is also magnetized is really neat as it allows some of the odd combinations to actually stick together and form free-standing structures," one proud puzzler raved.

Grab a box for 33% off, then get ready to enjoy hours of peace and quiet while they put this puzzle to work. That makes it a gift for you, wouldn't ya say?

They've got more Barbie dolls than you can count, but what about this adorable camper van? It's like a mini DreamHouse on wheels — except it comes with sleeping bags, a firepit and a 30-inch waterslide that leads to a mini pool. 

One happy parent called it a "Barbie must-have," adding that "it doubles as storage for some of the dolls when they're not being played with." Get the RV along with 60 doll accessories for $60 — that's 40% off its original price and the lowest price we've seen since Prime Day.

There's a time and a place for tablets, but Tonies are there for the moments when you want your kids to have some screen-free entertainment. Just stick a teeny-tiny Tonie on top of this little box to play stories, songs and educational games.
