Best American Toy Brands
Melissa & Doug
Melissa & Doug is a wooden toy brand founded in 1988 in Connecticut, America.
They look at the versatility of toys with the solid timelessness that wood offers.
Like building blocks, a staple of children's play since the earliest days, for one simple reason: kids love them.
This set of Melissa & Doug offers all the classic versatility of the toy, but with the sturdy timelessness that wood offers.

Their own children play an important role in the development of Melissa and Doug's toys. An idealistic couple with passion make beautiful and solid toys for a good price.
There are 200 pieces in this set for maximum fun when building, stacking and taking down.
They come in nine different shapes and four different colors (red, blue, yellow, and green), so there's no limit when it comes to building options.
Not only do they inspire creative play and motor and spatial skills, but they can also be used to teach shapes, colors, counting and more in a fun way.
Recommended for ages three to eight, the only limit to what they can do with these blocks is their imagination.

Best plastic sandbox
The sandpit is shaped like a turtle. Because of its nice design and green color, the sandpit fits nicely in the backyard as an extra playground.
Little Tikes Company was founded in the late 60s by Thomas G. Murdough, who was interested in the toy industry. He saw that the toy industry was in a period of intense transformation, with smaller companies and distributors being swallowed up by major manufacturers.
Murdough disagreed with the increasing poor quality of toys and the fact that toy manufacturers focused only on making toys cheaper. He saw the need for plastic toys that could be produced inexpensively and started Little Tikes.
Play doh
The patent for Play-Doh, filed by Noah McVicker in 1956, was granted in 1965, the same year that Rainbow Crafts (the original manufacturer) was sold to General Mills. Hasbro acquired the brand in 1991. The distinctive feature of Play-Doh, namely its recognizable scent, has remained unchanged all these years.
Hasbro moved production from in 2004 Play doh mainly to factories in China and Turkey so it is no longer made in America.
