Made in China

We love the store Six Star. It's a glorified dollar store. The items are mostly $1, some are $3. They're all pretty great (if you are three-years-old). Kyle is obsessed with a line of cars they have. They are quite large, have pretty good push-action, and cost $1 (which is good, because if we step on them they crush). He freaks out when he sees them. They are made in China. Obviously. Here's how I know (besides the sticker):














First up is the Fire Engine. On the front of it it says, "Decent Fire Engine" "Win Instant Success"

Did they decide to put fortunes on toys now? I'm guessing it should have said "With Instant Action" (it goes when you push it), but how knows.

It also says 119 all over the sides. I'm guessing it should be 911. Who knows.



















Next up is the Police car. "Any trouble with you, call the police to help." Can't count how many times I've seen that on a cruiser!
















And the packaging reads: "All kinds of toys are selected freely by you. Every styles fully wonderful." You can tell someone had a chinese/english dictionary, but no translator was involved.



















And not a toy, but none-the-less questionable. Here's the packaging for our home-made popcicles. It pictures happy popcicles, an apple, and green and red bell peppers. Maybe they do things WAY different in China, but I'm really, really wondering if they use bell peppers to make popcicles. Yuck!

And in spite all of this we will continue to shop at Six Star. Maybe we should invest in a home test for lead content though.
