Cyber Monday

Day 38.
Cyber Monday

The online answer to Black Friday is Cyber Monday. Today will likely be a very busy day for online retailers and I'd like to take this opportunity to share some places where you can find lots of great American made products to shop while surfing the web. Since fashion was the theme for our virtual fashion show on Black Friday I thought today we could offer a virtual toy box with great gifts for kids based around a wide variety of children's interests.

 

Here are a few of my favorite suggestions for gifts for children:

For the little artist:

How adorable is this adjustable art easel? They can draw or paint on paper on one side and enjoy chalkboard art on the other. I had an easel like this growing up and I believe it was one of the toys that fostered great creativity in my young life.

For the little one on the go:

Some cool wheels to keep them on the move...this little fire engine themed toy will make them feel like their heading to the rescue!

For the little princess or knight in shining armor:

OMG! I want this castle myself...you never really outgrow wanting to be a princess...lol. This is too cool...this is bound to inspire hours of creative play.

For the future scientist...or cosmetologist:

What a cool way to add some glamour to the world of science!

For the little chef:

Here's a cool kitchen playset that will let them cook up a storm. It's a really deluxe design with a play stove, oven and sink...they can even pretend to do the dishes!

For the little caretaker:

She can take wonderful care of a baby doll with an easy to push doll stroller like this one.

For the darling decorator:

How cool...a dollhouse you can paint yourself. Perfect for the child who knows just the way she wants everything to look.

For the puzzle pro:

You can find a wide assortment of puzzles and games, but I just thought this snowman was so cute and perfect for the holidays.

For the budding builder:

Get them thinking about how to put things together with this awesome set of building blocks.

I hope I've helped make your Cyber Monday a little easier with guiding you to these great toys, all made here in the USA. Supporting these American manufacturers really does make a difference and I hope the kids in your life love the gifts you've found!
