Nylint Rock Crawler

Nylint Rock Crawler

Da Vincis Challenge

Da Vincis Challenge

It’s safe to say that just about anything “DaVinci”, after the amazing success of Dan Brown’s novel, will spark interest these days.

Candy Land DVD

Candy Land DVD

Hot Wheels Cars

Hot Wheels Cars

Who among us does not have fond memories of their first Hot Wheels car? You know, the miniature metal beauties that so perfectly reproduced our favorite cars.

The posable doll has a new design, and according to our testers these are the current “it” girls when it comes to the cool doll to have this year. The Teens are pretty and quite trendy, each with a unique style and hair color that sets her apart. Little girls thought each was quite pretty

Pixel Chix

Pixel Chix

Without a doubt Pixel Chix was the most unique toy we tested this year. A hybrid mix of the virtual pets of a couple years ago and teen girl lifestyle trends, Pixel Chix is an interactive, two dimensional dollhouse with a seemingly live (if pixelated) girl living inside. Your child is responsible for keeping her

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:
