[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]They're wooden, simple, fairly inexpensive, most don't make noise, seem to encourage more imaginative play versus pushing buttons and the toys do everything, aren't based on commercial characters, pretty sturdy compared to most of the plastic toys out there.

They're mostly made in China, though, so there's that.[/quote]

Yea, they used to be made in the US before they became really popular.  Disappointing...[/quote]

OP here. Thanks for the insight. So what US-made toys would you recommend? And what is wrong with being made in China? How is it different than US?

I asked my original question because a bunch of people on my neighborhood listserv are always trying to sell or give these toys away, and it seems like they think it's such a great brand.[/quote]

Well, for one thing toys made in China have been found to have lead paint in the past.  They are supposed to be held to US standards, but China has shown time and again that they cut corners.  You can often find Melissa and Doug toys at TJMaxx, Marshalls and Home Goods so I wouldn't say they're an exclusive brand.[/quote]
