Buy American Made Toys and Games

Many people are looking for American made toys due to concerns over recent recalls of many toys made in China. Here is a comprehensive list of resources to find American made toys. Be aware that with the increased interest in American made toys this year, many manufacturers have become overwhelmed with the demand. Order early!

Babies and Toddlers

This age group is probably the most at risk from exposure to inferior quality Chinese toys because of the amount of plastic toys made for very small children, the little amount of a toxic substance it takes to harm an infant or toddler, and due to choking hazards in poorly designed toys. The good news is there are plenty of alternatives.
