Websites with American and European-made toys

Categories: Babies, Toddlers, Preschoolers, Health & safety, In the news, Toys & games, Shopping and recalls

With the holidays quickly approaching, many parents are thinking about gifts for little ones. Given the recalls and issues with Chinese-made toys, more and more people are looking towards companies who manufacture in America. As always, I try to incorporate these types of toys in my product reviews whenever possible.

Here's a list of some great websites with American-made toys:

Nova Natural
Maple Landmark
Zebulon USA
Uncle Goose
Fat Brain Toys
Holgate Toys

Don't forget about European toys! Europe has very strict standards for toy manufacturing, and the following are some of my favorite websites featuring toys from Europe:

Moolka
Oompa
Urban Kids Play
Brio

A note of caution: Just because a product is "Made in the USA" doesn't always mean the materials used to create the item are American-made. As always, vigilant research is the only way you can know for sure.

Now, it's your turn. Do you have any websites to add to the list?
