Cool Toys Made in the USA
Friday, August 24, 2007 14:57I figured since I posted my little tirade about products imported from China, I ought to suggest a cool product that’s actually made in the USA. . . Zome, is a line of building toys for kids 6 and up. They come in kits, but on a very cool note, you can also by pieces by the pound to supplement your kits or replace lost parts. To me, one of the coolest looking kits is the Crazy Bubbles kit, which allows you to create various shapes, and then use them to blow bubbles.
Another cool building toy, also made in Colorado is Superstructs. Superstructs were inspired by Legos and Tinkertoys, and there are also gear sets reminiscent of Construx. Superstructs kits are available for kids 3 and up. Check them out! Also, if you know any other great toy or gift ideas made in the USA, post a comment here.

Thanks for the tip on these great-looking toys. There are some toys, and thousands of other American-made products including furniture, clothes, tools and more on an awesome site, http://www.shopforamerica.com.

Cynthia- That looks like a good resource. I’ll have to remember it for Christmas shopping.

Don’t forget that Knex are made right here in the United States, and LEGO bricks are made in Denmark and Germany.
Glad to find your blog!

Kristie,
It seems there aren’t many websites that are focused on toys made in the usa. I did stumble upon this site today and it seems to have pretty good content.

Just thought I’d warn you that I’ve found Lego products made from China recently!

Oops. I forgot to mention found some Knex products from outside the country. I would recommend you read the sides of the boxes. It’s the only way to guarantee something is American made.
