Comments on: Lastest Additions to the Toy List http://educatedmom.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/lastest-additions-to-the-toy-list/ Educating myself and other moms about safer toys Fri, 14 Dec 2007 15:25:32 +0000 http://wordpress.com/ hourly 1 By: Stephen http://educatedmom.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/lastest-additions-to-the-toy-list/#comment-5 Stephen Fri, 30 Nov 2007 01:55:32 +0000 http://educatedmom.wordpress.com/2007/11/09/lastest-additions-to-the-toy-list/#comment-5 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 www.toys-without-china.com and FAO Shwartz. FAO has a country search, but who can afford $300 for a stuffed bear? I can’t believe the lack of manufacturer attention to this, especially from those that don’t make goods in China.

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. Thank you for your campaign to buy American Toys.
