Books for Toddlers

The Busy Book for Toddlers includes 100+ pieces to complement the pages of learning.  Toddlers build up their fine motor skills, how to recognize colors and shapes, all while having fun learning.  Busy books like these also foster a love of books in children.  It is also designed and made in the USA with care by a small family business in St. Louis, MO.

Imagination Play

Little Tikes 2-in-1 Garden Cart and Wheelbarrow

Owning a Little Tikes toy is almost a rite of passage in childhood.  With a working water sprinkler, kids can plant their own garden (seeds not included)or pretend to plant the included plant toys.  The cart also converts to a wheelbarrow and there's no telling the pretend play that will ensue.

Wooden Blocks

Uncle Goose Classic ABC Blocks with Wagon - Made in The USA 

The sky is the limit with these blocks and wagon.  Toddlers can stack them high, begin putting words together, enhance tactile skills, recognize animals, to name a few.  The colors are subtle.  The wood is from Michigan.  The shaping is done in Maine.  Support small business!

Finding the perfect gift for a toddler that is also made in the USA may pose a challenge, but with challenge comes change.  

Always remember: Nobody loves you and your business more than the people behind the made in the USA name!
