Land of Dough Play Dough
Land of Dough play dough is all natural and eco-friendly. It is made in small batches in the USA with natural colors, compostable glitters, almond oil, and essential oils. The dough is smooth to the touch and scented with a blend of organic chamomile, lemongrass, and lavender essential oils which add a wonderful calming dimension to the play experience.
When my kiddos were in preschool they absolutely loved playing with play dough. I would buy it in every color I could find, but they would always mix the colors together. Well, Land of Dough play dough is meant to be mixed together. Each container of dough is themed and includes multiple colors. Also included is a wooden shovel made from naturally sourced birch. Kiddos have fun scooping and blending the dough to see what's inside- while they are strengthening fine motor skills.

Regarding Pikler triangles; I did some research before purchasing my own – just the little climber + slide from Lily and River in the natural wood coloration goes for $284.95 off their website and there isn’t much to justify such a high price when there are plenty other options on the market. We chose the pikler + slide set from https://goodevas.com/ ($139 + $40 shipping) based on their price, quality, and aesthetic appeal. I am very impressed by the build quality and the smoothness of the wood, my 2 year old is a natural climber and immediately started doing her thing the second we introduced it to her 🙂
Simplay3, available on Amazon, is American-made and veteran-owned.
Cubles (www.cubles.com) are made in the USA, and they are educational and sustainable!
Begin Again still made in the USA? Amazon answers say some items are made in China and their website doesn’t say where things are made which is odd. Usually companies that make things in the USA highlight it.
Hi Brian, only the Begin Again teethers are made in the USA. I clarified that in the post.
Snapos blocks…https://snapo.com/ are plastic blocks that snap together. Think Legos, but better–they can snap side to side– and made in USA!! Snapos are BPA-free. My daughter plays with Snapos nearly everyday.
They have big blocks for ages 1-5 and smaller standard sized blocks for ages 3+.
I’m so happy to have found this article, thank you!
Thanks for this post!! I want to be a teacher and this will be super helpful!

Gotta love the Cozy Coupe — a classic!
I had no idea Little Tikes made their products here! I had that car as a kid. 🙂
Made in Ohio! Their website does a great job of indicating which of their toys (the majority of them) are Made in the USA. Word in the ‘burbs is that their customer service is outstanding too.
