GBaby by Geomag- Made in Switzerland

We're so happy to be adding a new Geomag product to our recommended list! Geomag is already on our Brands You Can Trust list for their fun and interesting toys for older kids. Now, Geomag has a new line just for babies and toddlers. The bright colors and simple shapes will delight your child and you'll know you've given them an exciting and safe toy. The entire G Baby line is BPA free and bath and dishwasher safe. G Baby is available through Amazon, Fat Brain Toys and some Toys R Us stores. The products are just rolling out so they may not be available locally yet.

Continuing posts on toys for different age groups that fit in your budget. The main criteria- must be under $30, made outside of China from a brand we have already reviewed and be something we would buy for our own kids. Please note that we have included Playmobil and Lego in this grouping. While some Playmobil and Lego toys are made in China, these recommended here are not.

SCHOOL AGE TOYS

GeoMag- Made in Switzerland

We've discovered a substitute for Magnetix that your older children are sure to love. GeoMag is made in Switzerland but has all the magnetic fun Magnetix sets that have been recalled lately. Most sets are designed for children 6 and up but a mature 4 year old would have fun building as well!
