I am afraid to buy toys made in China for my kids. I have 2 birthdays and Christmas coming up. Where can I get toys not made in China and what brands are they?
Answer
Try www.oompa.com. The toys are a little pricey, but for the most part they are made in Europe, which means very high standards. Also just keep checking the boxes, I was able to find some stuff at Target the other day. I still have yet to find toys made in the US that were not handmade and I have been looking

Who is getting their kids vintage toys?
Linnie
From the recent poison paint and all.
I think it is good to buy the children vintage toys from GOODWILL and The Salvation Army
and thrift shops. As they are safe unlike the recalled ones this year and last.
Do you think so if the toys are in good shape and very clean?

This could be a good idea, just make sure to check out the Consumer Product Safety Commission website at www.cpsc.gov to make sure these toys haven't also been recalled. Also, remember that many toys are still manufactured right here is the USA. According to a Fox News article printed on Aug. 16th, the following toys are still made in the USA:
⢠Battleship
