American Made Christmas Gifts for Toddlers

For parents concerned about toy safety, there are a number of old fashioned American toy manufacturers that still make fabulous toys for toddlers. It can be tough to find some of these old fashioned toys in American retail stores, but fortunately for us, they have online outlets that make shopping easy and fun.

Zebulon USA only sells merchandise that is American made. From clothes to luggage, and home decor, this company carries a very nice range of quality products. Their toy & game section offers a terrific assortment of toddler toys made by USA toy companies, Holgate and Montgomery. One of my favorites include the classic pounding board, which which us old timers fondly remember as the cobbler's bench. Holgate calls this delightful wooden toddler toy the "Bingo Bed" and it retails for $23.95.

The Holgate's Rocky Color Cone is another timeless classic. These stackable rings are threaded onto a rod to create a pyramid shape. Holgate also produces a Hickory Dockery Dock clock which retails for $29.95 and an old fashioned wagon of 48 wooden blocks for $99.95.

The Montgomery line of toys include an adorable wooden Little Scoot Community set for $29.99 and an old fashioned pull along duck toys, called Schoolhouse Quack. This adorable pull toy retails for $15.95.
