Today’s deals we love

For kids

Melissa & Doug Suspend Family Game
$12 $14 from Amazon

With on-page coupon

This easy-to-learn and easy-to-set-up game for elementary school kids is nicely discounted when you clip the on-page coupon. It involves players taking turns to balance metal rods and if too many are placed at precarious angles, the structure comes crashing down. It's a fun and inexpensive game to help kids and families pass the time at home together.

Garmin Vívofit Jr. Fitness Tracker
$39 $50 from Amazon

To help kids stay active, you might consider getting them a fitness tracker to make everyday exercise more exciting. We like this one for grade school kids, and it's back down to the previous low in all three patterns. While not all kids will dig it, it'll be easier to gamify exercise (and rewards!) with the data from a fitness tracker.

Theralite Aura Light Therapy Lamp
$47 $55 from Amazon

The main picks in our guide to the best light therapy lamps are large, in charge, and quite expensive.
