DENVER, CO. – RC Art Toys announced today the Color Bug has been included in Dr Toy’s 17th Annual report of "Dr. Toy's 100 Best Children’s Products 2008". “Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Children's Products” Awards Program 2008 was developed by noted child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Toy) as a service to consumers who desire to purchase safe, affordable, educationally oriented, stimulating toys and products for children.
"As a childhood specialist for over 35 years," says Dr. Toy, Director of the Institute for Childhood Resources, founded in San Francisco in 1975, "I have seen the continuous, essential need for more year-round resources for consumers to identify and choose the most appropriate, safe and engaging learning and developmental products for all children."
“We are thrilled to be included in the Annual Report for 2008,” says RC ART TOYS founder, Gwen Austin. “Dr. Toy is a well-respected voice in the toy industry and to be chosen is truly an honor.” The Color Bug was rated the Top 10 under the category of Creativity & Art.
The report, “Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Children’s Products for 2008”, is being released according to Dr. Toy to “encourage parents and teachers to focus on the value of play as essential to the learning process.” She adds, “Smart play products selected from 100 companies across the U.S.A., Canada and other countries provide children with exciting new learning tools to help them do better in school, and also provide more constructive activities after school. Children learn best through play, and these smart toys and products encourage children to maximize their potentials.”
“Dr. Toy's 100 Best Products” were carefully chosen from among thousands that she has reviewed at toy fairs, catalogs, and through many other sources, and by using extensive criteria she has developed over many years. Among the criteria used are: safety, age-appropriateness, design, durability, lasting play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, good transition from home to school, educational value, learning skills, creativity, improvement in the understanding of the community and the world, good value for price, and, naturally, fun.
