Toys MADE in the USA!

Seems like everyday more toys and other items are being recalled because it has lead in it. I am thinking by the time the holidays roll around, that there will be nothing left on the shelves because everything is being recalled!!!!

Here are some toys MADE right here in the USA

FOXNews.com - Buy American: Toys Made in the USA - Neil Cavuto | Your World

In light of the recall of nearly 1 million Chinese-produced toys tainted with lead paint, below is a list of toys made in the USA:

• Battleship
• Bicycle Playing Cards
• Boggle Jr.
• Candyland
• Chutes and Ladders
• Clue
• Connect Four
• Crayola Crayons *
• Life
• Louisville Slugger
• Monopoly
• Mouse Trap
• Operation
• Parcheesi
• Play-Doh *
• Pop-O-Matic Trouble
• Radio Flyer Discovery Wagon
• Scrabble
• Sorry
• Stratego
• Tri-ominos
• Trivial Pursuit
• Yahtzee
• Melissa and Doug U.S.A. Floor Puzzle (Most puzzles are made in the USA!)

* Note: Not all packages of Crayola Crayons and Play-Doh are made in the USA -- please check the label.

Also, anything you buy from the American Plastic Toy Company is made in America

This is really good info to know.
I imagine some of us can even cross reference items on xmas lists with this information.
I plan to get Sorry, Trouble and Battleship for the family. Great games + it's nice to know they are made America.

Thanks OP.

Thanks for the information! I have been trying to take more notice about toys being made in the US lately. I already do NOT buy food grown or packaged in other countries (except my Walkers shortbread, yum). I am really trying to buy more "made in USA" items.

Great idea about creating a main list and adding to it when we find more items made in the USA!

I agree, it is going to be tough looking for toys due to all the recalls.

I just visited the Gummy Lump website!!! I am so excited. It's been so long since I've had to buy Christmas presents for a little one and I was at a complete loss just like I was for her birthday. WOW...I love these toys. I walk through Wal-Mart and am so unimpressed with the toy selection and I feel like I buy things jusr for the sake of buying them. NOw, not only can I buy American, but things I really want to buy!!!!

We just had a gift exchange for our October 2006 babies, I ordered from Gummy Lump!

Most of us asked for wooden toys, lots of concern about these recalls. Seems like a lot of the toys are European brands, so hopefully they're safe...
