Are your kids playing with American Toys made in China?




Do you remember playing with building log sets when you were a kid? A few simple wooden pieces constructed into imaginative forts, cabins, barns or play spaces for small wooden figures. These toys are founded on American history, teaching kids about Abraham Lincoln’s birthplace. However, there is only one building log set toy manufacturer left in the USA.

The Original Lincoln Logs Building Sets is probably the most recognizable brand. The company began manufacturing log sets in 1916 and are now sold through K’NEX a largely American manufacturer. These log sets are now manufactured in China. Their log sets sell within a range that includes $25 for a basic set – $40 for a 200 piece set.

Slinky also makes a building log set called Ideal Timeless Toys. Another much loved brand of kids toys choosing to manufacture in China. Their log sets sell within a range that includes $25 for a 114 piece set – $54 for a 300 piece sets.

Roy Toy Manufacturing 100% Made in the USA
Roy Toy was established in the mid 1930’s by Roy K. Dennison, one of the earliest pioneers in the wooden toy industry. Roy realized that there was an intriguing love for wooden construction sets by both children and parents. Roy Toy still hand cuts their sets from pine logs and stains them with a non-toxic dye. Their log sets sell within the range of $20 for 120 piece set - $50 for 250 piece sets.

Earth friendly, all natural, non toxic, sustainable foresting practices, not to mention…
100% MADE IN THE USA?!!

It’s a dream for parents, kids, and Americans. Did you notice that it’s incredibly affordable?
