"I think that if we can force these companies to change the way they manufacture and market their toys, other companies will follow suit as well," she said. "Unless you make the toys yourself, what are your kids going to play with?"

Gee....I wonder what kids did BEFORE China made toys????

My Grandfather gave me a pocketknife when I was 6 and I got a Kadet Trainer Rifle. We lived in the country, next to a farm. Wouldn’t trade it for anything. My Mom and Dad still have some of the wooden toys that we had back in the dark ages.

My parents never had that problem with me when I was child growing up in Iowa in the 50's.

Toys from China?  Are you kidding?

There were never any 'toys.' Or TV.

But if you were growing up on a farm the entertainment never ended...

I do recall more than anything that all the best teachers were nuns, in the public school system, and they wore the whole regalia in school.

Funny thing about those nuns, although we had the same ones in catechism on the weekends as we did in public school, the school was the hard part.

We were held to a standard, and no one ever failed.

"It's really hard to find toys that aren't made in China that are age-appropriate, and are just cool, that your kid will play with."

It's usually the parents that are obsessed with 'cool' toys for their kids that are the most exasperated when they find their kids playing with the box the toy came in...;'}

Even the joys of my childhood fifty years ago, Lionel electric trains, are now produced in China - it hurts....

Parents Have Trouble Finding Toys Not Made in China

Oh, come on, parents!!! Be creative.

Sticks aren't made in China. Merry Christmas, Bobby!

"Wow, Mom and Dad... That's a BIG one!"

[samp in mo]

instead of toys from China should they play with themselves? Man I long for days when I ran around with a pair of american made scissors.

I used to make a wicked flying machine out of 5 Popsicle sticks. No magnets and no lead paint. But that was a different world.

I smell a rat(conspiracy). The anti-China made consortium couldn’t get our big box stores to stop purchasing from China so they turn to the next weapon. Find fault with everything made in China. Lead in bibs? Who will prove otherwise? This just ices my theory.

buy a saw, some nails and bits of lumber...make your own damn toys like I did!

[R_Kangel]

As far as I know the wooden toys made by the Amish are not made in China.
