Important Advisory: We are now requiring companies to provide us with documentation that their products have been tested by an independent lab for phthalates and lead. We are requiring products submtted going forward to: (1) Follow the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that products contain no more than trace amounts of lead (as defined by the AAP as 40 parts per million); and (2) contain no phthalates. However, as we are not a lab, we will not be independently verifying those results. Also, with the exception of the 2008 Platinum Toy Awards, toys submitted for review prior to January 2008 were not tested for lead.. Safety Recalls: Given the absence of more stringent federal legislation, we encourage consumers to keep up to date on safety recalls. Sign up for CPSC safety email alerts. Click here.

Ones and Twos |

 There
is a big difference between your one year old whose focus is primarily
on mastering and enjoying his new found mobility and your two year-old
who is now running, jumping, and making giant leaps with language
and imagination Yet, the second and third years are generally known
as the toddler years. Many of the toys and games recommended for ones
will continue to be used by twos in new and more complex ways.Since
some toddlers will be steady on their feet earlier than others or talking
and pretending at different times, you'll want to use this web-area
in terms of your own child's individual development. |

Developmentally, babies learn from active, real-life experiences rather than being 'plugged in' to passively watching others at such an early age. We believe a mirror would be more interactive and age-apropriate than a video screen. Reading books and talking about pictures, or interacting as you sing songs and recite rhymes, will do more to build language than plugging them into the TV to look at pretty pictures with music. For kids under two (and for all kids), less is more! We are delighted that the American Pediatric Association has agreed with our position. Older toddlers will enjoy many of these tapes:
