TOYS TOYS TOYS TOYS

Ok, I'm almost done shopping. Here are a few more Made in America toys that I purchased this year:

Age 3+ Flippity Find-A matching game of Disney characters (Timer made in China)$16.99
Age 5+ Scrablle for Junior $15.99
Age 3+ This is the latest girl's toy - anything Fancy Nancy. I don't know if everything Nancy is made in America, but this one is: Dress-Up Game (Colorforms) $12.99
There is also a movie, but don't know the origin of it.

These items were purchased at Toys r Us.

And don't forget: Most, if not all,I SPY games are Made in USA

MORE TOYS FOR KIDS

Toys of USA makes quality toys for kids of all ages. There are many internet sites for kid's toys made in the USA, but I recently bought four items for this year's holiday from this site.

For my almost 3 year old granddaughter: Magnetic Schoolroom - A board with 33 magnetic pieces, including two teachers, 7 students (some sitting for placement on chairs,) easel, globe, backpack, and lots of school supplies. There are two pieces I don't like: fish bowl and hamster cage, sad realities in classrooms, but a good opportunity for us to talk about the captivity of animals. We can always make them disappear after our discussions.

For the almost 5 year old: A Flower Purse Set. A great way to teach lacing (sewing)

For both of them: Magnetic Alphabet Animal Bingo and a set of recycled plastic dishes to go along with their tea set which I purchased last year and their new stove, this year. I love those dishes. The colors are deep pastels.

I LOVE TOYS MADE IN THE USA!!!!
