It can be challenging navigating all of the gift giving options for children.  Every year, new toys come out, but rarely do any of them become new classics.

I still believe the best toys are classic toys.  If they were good enough for my children’s grandparents during a more simple time, they are definitely good enough for my kids.

Not all of these toys are plastic-free or made in the USA, but here are eleven classic toys:
