A directory of toy makers that say they make toys in the United States
- Each card says what the maker says, where, and which products the claim covers, with a numbered link to the quote it comes from.
- “Made in USA” here is always the maker's claim, not our finding. We quote and date; we don't audit factories or test toys.
- Many makers make some toys here and import others. When a maker is silent about imports, we don't read that as “none”: check the origin line on the specific product.
24 makers, 14 with a full page. Sources last checked October 21, 2026. How we choose and check: method. What the labels mean: “Made in USA”, explained. We took 11 makers off the list in this audit because we couldn't support them from their own sites; see which, and why.

“Find on Amazon” opens an Amazon search for that maker and carries our affiliate tag: as an Amazon Associate, we earn from qualifying purchases, at no cost to you. It never affects who is listed or what we write. Amazon results can mix in imports and other brands; the maker's own site and the product's origin line are the surer guide.
