Hello All,
Does anyone know of a toys that are made in Ireland? I am buying toys for a big christmas party in a few months. I am trying to buy irish this year.

I already emailed this site.
www.babogbaby.com

Does anyone know ones that are made in ireland. Budget is 15 euro per child but can buy in bulk so it might make the 15 euro go further.

Regards
Evoke

This is a Galway company. Not sure how Irish the products are but I read that they were going to try and source Irish.

Hasbro makes all the board games like Monopoly, based in Waterford.

Hurlog is made by an Irish company. In fact the couple who started making them is from Oranmore as far as I know.My husband got one for his nephew,it's a lovely piece,suitable for a 3-6 year old perhaps.

mytoysdirect.com was originally announced as selling Irish-made toys; not sure if they're all still Irish-made

@fifi234ie They do not sell any of the games on their website. Think it has to be bought through a retailer.

I like these building toy kits and they are made in meath

What was the name of those solid little plastic trikes and things - invented and made in Cork, ohh, 30 years ago probably, in the 1980s? Were a worldwide sensation at the time.

Oh, and if you want adorable old-fashioned knitted toys - not cheap, but they last at least one lifetime - Cleo's in Kildare Street has them, hand-knitted in Ireland.

(Cleo's also has some really mouthwatering clothes, included cashmere cardies knitted on Inis Oírr.)
