TOYS/GAMES
Toys and products are reviewed by teachers, daycare providers, parents and children. Items that receive the highest ratings will be included in our published review or included in our online review. We request two identical samples, one for review, the other for donation to local charities and children's organizations or used for promotional purposes.
For toy reviews, please contact Linda Bay at
PRODUCT REVIEWS
Once or twice a year we review items for home (small appliances), family camping, kids snacks, healthy snack alternatives, baby items, home organizing tools, school supplies, etc. Our focus is on items that make life easier (or just better!) for parents and families.
Plan on your item reaching our offices 10 weeks prior to the issue you're interested in being considered for. A submission does not guarantee publication/promotion.
