Unlike sales of pandemic supplies like toilet paper and hand sanitizer, for now, it's still possible to find toys online.

Tara Higgins, of West Orange, New Jersey, turned to Amazon to order a bounce house and a basketball hoop for her three kids to add to the backyard, which already had a playground with a treehouse, rock wall and a slide. A Step 2 roller coaster is on its way.

Her reason for the backyard play expansion is for some time to work while 8-year-old Charlie, 4-year-old Ava and 3-year-old Ben play. It’s why Allyson Scrivani – who temporarily moved from her Yonkers, New York, apartment to a small house in the Catskills with her 2-year-old son Patrick for safety –ordered a toddler trampoline, T-ball set and slide. She also bought a folding treadmill for herself.

Yep.

Working for one of the largest delivery companies in the world I can assure you that this is true.
