any recs for a nice set of colored wooden blocks?

NOT made in China? :)

They are for an adoption gift.

The girl can be from China, but the blocks can't. :D

TIA!

Here are a few options:

The Melissa & Doug brand (not at these links) is less expensive but made in China. :(

http://www.fatbraintoys.com/index.cfm On the left is a link to click to search for made in the USA toys. Or you could search blocks. They have some cool toys. They have toys made in a variety of countries, so you don't have to buy made in USA to avoid made in China. I didn't search for blocks, though. It's a big site. But seeing as I seem to be a made in USA advocate (and made in Canada, etc) on this board, I thought I'd best chime in.

Uncle Goose blocks (http://www.lindenwoodinc.com/) are beautiful. I like to send people to them because they started making Greek alphabet blocks after I requested them, promising that classical homeschoolers would buy them. :)
