Top 10 School-age toys for this holiday season!

You've asked, we've researched and here our our top 10 recommendations for school aged kids this holiday season. You won't find any electronics on our list as we have yet to find ANY brand that doesn't contain Chinese made components. But we have some great alternatives that your kids will love.

My 9yo daughter has the friendship bracelet book and loves it. Even my 7yo can make the simplest bracelet from the book.

They've moved on from the thread supplied with the book and are now pilfering my stash of embroidery floss.

What do you know about the American Girl products? Their site says they have warehouses in WI, but they are owned by Mattel so are the dolls etc.. made in China?

American Girl is manufactured in China. Check out Kathe Kruse for a German-made doll. We currently don't have a recommendation for a product similar to American Girl. We'll keep looking!
