Yes, they do exist…but they’re quite difficult to find!

If you’re still in the process of holiday shopping and have some kiddos to buy for, why not check out toys made in USA?  Durable, unique, and safe, buying toys that are made in USA helps to support the few American toy companies that remain.

What’s cool for kids and made in USA?  Younger children (preschool and kindergarten) might enjoy wooden puzzles made in USA.  Choose from cars, trains, animals, and even tractors that are printed atop durable wooden jigsaw puzzle pieces…unlike cheaper puzzles coated with paper graphics.

For the elementary kids, try memory and dominoes games made in USA.  Vehicles and cute animals printed on sturdy wooden game pieces!

Books made in USA and magnetic toys made in USA are also cool kids’ gift ideas.  These nifty magnetic playsets from Dowling Magnets are unfortunately now made in China, but Gator Tots still has limited stock of these magnetic toys that were made in USA.

Take a look at Gator Tots’ entire toys made in USA boutique for super cool kids’ gift ideas for the holidays and birthdays too!  Free shipping over $75!

Back-to-school time is almost here. Does your kiddo have a cool kids’ lunch box that’s PVC-free and lead-free? The super-cheap lunch boxes found at discount stores make some parents concerned about the safety of these products.

These insulated lunch boxes from Gator Tots come in 12 ultra cool designs that preschool and elementary children will love…dinosaurs, sunflowers, horses, dump trucks, fire trucks, and designer fabrics too. They are well-made with quality materials from Crocodile Creek and an American company as well. That’s right, you can get an insulated lunch box made in USA!

All of the insulated lunch boxes at Gator Tots are PVC free and have lead free linings. The American made lunch boxes have durable canvas designer fabrics on the outsides and nylon on the inside (which won’t tear like the linings in some cheaper lunch boxes).

Coordinating kids backpacks are available for many of these cool kids’ lunch boxes too! Hurry and get ‘em while they’re hot…and before the back-to-school crowd buys Gator Tots out of these cool kids’ lunch boxes!
