SEAL OF APPROVAL WINNER

Holiday 2020

Blockaroo

Blockaroo

Blockaroo is a terrific foundational toy for growing minds, and great at helping to build a childs imagination and fine motor skill development. These foam building blocks do much more than just stack on top of one another; they easily connect to each other thanks to embedded magnets. The magnets are strong, making what a child builds stable, and allows for stacking without them falling over too easily. As strong as the magnets are, they are not overly strong; little toddler hands are still able to pull them apart when they want to create something new. When the magnetic blocks are attached, they can also rotate 360-degrees allowing for more possibilities to use imagination. The blocks have endless possibilities. One day your child might build a rocket ship that they dream of blasting off into space. Then when they get tired of rocket ships, they can easily take them apart and start over. Along with stacking, they can teach sorting by both color and shape and counting as well. All of these options make Blockaroo great for a wide age range of children starting at 18 months and lasting for a good many years. The endless possibilities allow for keeping a child occupied while learning for long periods. A huge plus with these blocks is that kids can play with them in the bath as well. Parents noted and loved that they are easy to clean. The instruction booklet gives lots of cleaning options, including the fact that they are even safe for the dishwasher’s top rack! Testers overwhelmingly agreed that Blockaroo is a great building set that is well worth the money and should be on your radar this holiday season.

HOW IT WORKS

 

A Seal of Approval review involves a multi-step process conducted over an eight-week period.

Parents and children, experience and review submitted products and services either already released or coming to market.

Participants fill out questionnaires for each product or service they test. They score based on 13 levels of criteria including quality, appeal, design, price, packaging, directions, desirability, stimulation, replay factor, and more. Results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received by testers.

There are three testing periods each year:

Report Period Testing Begins Submission Deadline Testing Ends Report Issued
SPRING ’24 February 15th March 13th April 19th May 8th
FALL ’24 June 1st June 24th July 31st August 15th
HOLIDAY ’24 September 1st September 24th October 31st November 15th

Each submission must be accompanied by a $295 product testing fee (we offer multiple submission discounts). This fee covers the cost of testing, nothing more. It is non-refundable and has no bearing on the result of the testing. Additionally, we require three samples of the product or access codes for online submissions.

FYI about the Seal of Approval

* Winners of the Seal will be announced in a media release which is distributed to over 4700 media outlets including Facebook, Mommy bloggers and TV station websites.

* The report is forwarded to buyers at over 350 major retail and online stores including Amazon, Walmart, and Target. Amazon features Seal winners on product pages.

* Each report is featured on TNPC’s website as well as TNPC’s Twitter & Instagram accounts and Facebook Page.

* Links to company websites and a license to utilize the trademarked Seal of Approval artwork on marketing, packaging and web design are available exclusively to Seal winners for additional fees.

* Submitting a product does not secure or guarantee being awarded a Seal of Approval
