I recently was at a home show in Omaha and stumbled upon a product that is actually made right in Omaha. They were called jumboblocks.com and they were like giant lego blocks. My kids built a fort that they could play in, then my daughter built a lemonade stand with another girl who was there. Omaha Dad Hi:

I am making an effort for a Made in China free Christmas for all presents I am purchasing for my daughter and all relatives.<br/>I actually work in manufacturing in the US (nothing to do with toys unfortunately, so I can absolutely say this country still has the skills and knowledge to manufacture whatever consumer good are desired. I just struggle to comprehend how Wal-mart, Target, etc. keep getting away with selling toxic toys. I am thoroughly disgusted. I am so excited to see other women with the same goal.

FYI--Corolle dolls say on the box "Designed in France--Made in China." I saw some at a specialty toy store the other day. Very disappointing! And that goes for all of the sizes/types of baby dolls made by Corolle. :( I’m on the same quest.

Wed, 17 Oct 2007 12:26:00 +0000 http://blog.leapingfromthebox.com/?p=141#comment-40 We are trying to do the same thing here! A woman in our hs group is fanatical about not buying Chinese(for more than just safety concerns). Watch your veggies too, another of our hs moms found that some vegetables are imported from China as well!!! Ick! I'm not sure the country of origin is listed at the place I shop. Organic veggies will probably be out of my price range(feeding 5 here) but I'm going to try it and see. We are trying to do the same thing here!
