Wilson Footballs made in Ohio.
Little Tikes toys are made in USA, I think.

The Little Tikes or is it Tyke outdoor stuff for kids is incredible.

We have bought our grandkids outdoor tables and little gym climbing stuff. Some of that stuff is over 3 years old and still looks great.

It is plunked in their backyard or patio or ours. It stays out year round and is cleaned off with a hose. That is the only care.

Their inside toys get passed on neighbors with younger kids as our grandchildren outgrow them. Inspite of banging, kicking and other things I won't list, those toys are still in great shape.
