Tips for early shoppers like me!

Great tips have been flooding in from many sources, thanks to all! Here are a select few until I get the website pages up with the mega-lists.

(Coming soon, Canadian-made products and toys for my Canadian readers! Can I tell you how WEIRD it still feels to type "Made in USA" as "domestic"???? LOL)

http://usmadetoys.com
This is a great site, there are lots of "classic" toys (could there be anything more fun than a Slinky, come on now!) and even stuff for older kids like science kits.

http://roytoy.com
This is a coooool site with real wood building sets. Not a huge selection, but I also like that they have unpainted logs, good for those kids that like to chew on older siblings toys! *cough* Not that I have a child like that.

And also, with a shout-out to Becca, I wanted to introduce you all to these incredibly addictive and fun games: The Settlers of Catan! (with a million offshoots) These games were the only things we could find in 30 minutes of shopping at King Arthur's Court in Hyde Park that were not Made in China. Here is a link: http://catanonline.com/
