The Toy Man® News & Reviews
Award Programs Directory Resource

"Whether a company is a startup or well established, investment in the right awards/product review programs is a critical concern. 

With the assistance of other agencies, The Toy Man® News & Reviews staff and legal representatives, conducts extensive research on all of the most commonly used awards programs each year. Based upon our most recent research findings, the awards programs listed below were determined to have the highest probability of a positive return on investment. 





THE AWARD PROGRAMS LISTED BELOW ARE RECOMMENDED BY THE TOY MAN® NEWS & REVIEWS



* "First Established" is referring to when the awards program domain name was first registered for use on the Internet. This does not necessarily designate that the web site for the company was in operation the same day as the URL was activated. It is important to note that some of these companies were in operation before they established an Internet presence.

Careful and diligent effort is put forth by our staff and other agencies who assist us, to research practical facts on each company to provide for our readers. This information will help you make intelligent decisions based upon what you know, not what may be printed on a web site.

Good Housekeeping Awards Program The Good Housekeeping® Seal is completely different as well as the very first consumer product evaluation service. If a product which carries their seal proves to be defective within two years of purchase, Good Housekeeping® will replace the product or refund the purchase price to the consumer. The actual company was founded in 1909.

- "This is the evaluation system used as a model in the development of The Toy Man® Seal of Approval evaluation process and emblem."

NAPPA Awards Program The National Parenting Publications Awards for Parenting Resources showcase what they judge as the best in books, CDs, baby gear and innovative products from products submitted. Potential for front and center exposure on Parenthood.com.

- "One of the most in-depth and highly recognized product evaluation programs around." 

Oppenheim Awards Program Oppenheim Toy Portfolio provides a source of information for toys and other products which have been submitted and met their judgment as the best toys and products. Some of the products that are accepted are featured on The Today Show.

Creative Child Awards Program Creative Child Magazine Awards Program is designed so that all reviews of products submitted, are based on the opinions of parents and educators during a 2 day event which occurs on an annual basis, providing a well balanced evaluation.

- "Well recognized, accurate and fair evaluation in each year's event."

Mensa Awards Program One of the Mensa Education & Research Foundation's purposes is to identify and foster human intelligence for the benefit of humanity. To further this goal, several awards programs have been established to recognize the research and support of intelligence.

- "One of the most powerful emblems of quality and educational value."

Ableplay Awards Program AblePlay™ is a toy rating system and website that provides comprehensive information on toys for children with special needs. AblePlay was created so parents, special educators, therapists and others can make the best decisions when purchasing products for children in their lives with disabilities.

- "Safety in toys for Special Needs children is assured with this rating!"



Additional Awards Programs and Resources


There are several more commonly used awards programs available to consider.  Although they do not meet the standards we have set to be recommended by The Toy Man® News & Reviews, they are still available for consideration.
