About Gator Tots

About Gator Tots

Gator Tots is owned and operated by me, a fourth grade language arts teacher turned stay-at-home mom (with the help of my husband - the stock boy - and my toddler son - the toy tester). After leaving teaching to stay home with my son, I began searching for alternate ways to use my education background...why not search for unique educational toys and offer them to other parents through the Internet? That is how Gator Tots was born!
You'll find that Gator Tots is a little bit different than the "big guys." When was the last time you contacted one of those big web companies and communicated with the actual owner? Yep, when you email or call Gator Tots, you'll deal with me, and even if I'm busy being "Mom", your message will be responded to quickly - often within the hour! You'll also get top-quality customer service and speedy shipping...most orders ship the same or next day!
Why is Gator Tots obsessed with American made toys? Simply put, I believe toys made in USA are likely safer for our children and better made. I also would rather purchase products that support jobs in America rather than outside our country. There are some pretty snappy toys that are imported, so that is why you'll see a mixture of American and non-American made toys at Gator Tots (each product description has this information included.)
Why the name Gator Tots?
As a former language arts teacher, I love a good metaphor (when you say something IS something else), so Gator Tots sounded exciting since it can be a metaphor for something other than little alligators. It can also stand for snappy little kids or meaty morsels that taste delicious deep fried and dipped in ketchup!


That's the story of Gator Tots!
