As loving and responsible parents, you only want the best for your children. You want the best education your money can afford, the best upbringing your love can provide, and the best educational toys you can find. In your love, you should always settle for the best and the best are always American-made toys! Find out why.

Lead-Free

If you will remember, millions of toys made in China were recalled in 2007 due to high levels of lead. You will recall, too, that these toys were produced for American toy companies by Chinese subcontractors, which effectively make them non-American made toys.

Imagine if you purchased these recalled toys and your children were exposed to lead’s harmful side effects. Your children can develop cognitive and developmental abnormalities such as learning and behavioral problems including attention deficit disorder. What you thought will help your children learn faster can make them learn slower!

You should be properly alarmed because lead is a sweet poison, which makes it all the more attractive to small children. The worst part is that lead poisoning in lower levels, as what happens in the case of non-American made toys, has no visible symptoms. You could be happy with the cheap toy purchases now but future consequences can be anything but cheap!

You can be sure that with toys made wholly in America, you are providing for educational toys that are lead-free and therefore non-toxic. You can leave your worries of lead ingestion and lead inhalation behind when it comes to toys manufactured by Americans following American safety standards.

Economic Exigency

Let’s face it. You are also experiencing the economic slump the United States is suffering from now – the fall of Wall Street stalwarts, increasing unemployment, rising food and gas costs and high mortgage foreclosure rates, to name a few disturbing indicators. It is up to each and every one of us to help one another survive the economic hardship.

Your purchase of American-made toys will go a long way towards providing for employment for American toy makers and craftsmen. If you are going to spend money on toys to help your children, then spend it wisely on helping fellow Americans get back on their feet. The influx of additional orders allow American toy makers to hire extra workers, expand warehouses and base of operations, and contribute more to the economy.

Leave a Legacy

You will observe that mass-produced toys are usually cheaper than handcrafted toys made in America. This is because mass production allows for lower manufacturing costs albeit sacrifices in quality are made in the process, which includes flimsy materials, lead paints, shoddy workmanship and other defects.

On the other hand, handcrafted American-made toys demand higher prices because of the intensive labor exerted, the high-quality materials like wood and lead-free paint used, and the thoughtful consideration poured into making each and every toy durable, beautiful and educational. In fact, most toys made in the United States are so durable that you can pass them on to the next generation, much as your grandpa passed on your father’s wooden train set to you! How is that for leaving a legacy in toys?

The bottom line: purchase only American-made toys, which means toys made in the United States from US-made components. These are simply and absolutely the best toys in the world!
