Amazon Prime Now

If you can’t be bothered to leave the house (we feel you, mama!), Amazon offers a massive selection of Crayola art supplies, Melissa & Doug craft activities, Elmer’s glue specifically designed for slime, and much more. We even found a fairly impressive selection of yarns and kids’ sewing kits. Prices are quite competitive, and you can get free delivery in 2 hours — so handy when kiddo only just remembers that costume they need for class tomorrow! The app can be a little wonky to browse, but if you know what you’re looking for, it’s pretty clutch.
