Lastest Additions to the Toy List November 9, 2007

Not added to the list but worth checking out:
Nico & Zoe – they state that 1/3 of their products come from China but are clearly labeled as such on the product pages.
A Note about China made toys:
We carry a variety of toys – about 1/3 US made, 1/3 European made and 1/3 China manufactured. We trust all of the toys that we carry to be safe for your children – our kids play with our toys! All of our products list where they are made and manufactured because we knew this information is important to you. Thank you for your added support for US made toys and handmade toys, and we will continue to explore and offer this line as we find them.
Thank you for your campaign to buy American Toys. The Chinese manufacturing war machine is literally driving American manufacturers like us out of business. Please feel free to add our link, to your website. Our games are made here in the U.S and are both educational and fun to play.
As a small and aspiring family owned and operated boardgame manufacturing company, we need all the help and support we can get (as do all the other American companies) to make it to the next level.
As always, we are open to new ideas and suggestions to improve both our products and marketing strategies.
Once again thanks for your support.
I can’t believe the lack of manufacturer attention to this, especially from those that don’t make goods in China. If my stuff was made elsewhere I’d post that fact all over my web site and advertising. If I was a retailer, I’d have signs pointing out every toy not made in china as well. Of course, those toys would fly off the shelves.
It’s hard to find sites that help you find non-chinese toys, and a lot of the sites that do focus mainly on wooden toys. I found a couple sites that help find mainstream toys that my kids actually ask for. I’ve found a lot at http://www.toys-without-china.com and FAO Shwartz. FAO has a country search, but who can afford $300 for a stuffed bear?
