We manufacture all of our toys in the United States, with plastic and colorant purchased domestically.

Toys with imported components represent only 9% of our entire product line.
The majority of our toys are molded with: Polypropylene (~80%) and Polyethylene (~20%) plastic with molded in colorant. None of our products are painted or include phthalates. Every American Plastic Toys product is tested by at least one independent U.S. safety-testing lab to ensure that it complies with applicable safety standards.
Our Products are sold in most major North American mass merchants, online, and in many regional outlets.
