Life Science

A wonderful educational DVD that is perfect for homeschoolers or as an additional support tool for students who are learning Life Science in school. The range of lessons from photosynthesis to the life cycle of a butterfly, food chains and genetic traits really impressed our testers. If you think this is in any way a […]

Five Trick or Treaters

Five Trick or Treaters

A wonderful book and CD set that will certainly enhance the festivities of late October. The characters inside the book are actually very cute and not at all scary, making it a good fit for the age group.

GRiPPiES

You know those ideas you run across and you smack yourself in the head and say, “Of course, why didn’t someone think of this sooner?” Well GRiPPiES did and any parent with hard floors, either wood, tile or linoleum, will be thankful for their ingenuity.

Swinxs

Swinxs is a gaming console but we guarantee it is unlike any console you have ever seen or played with. There is no television or other screen to hook it up to and it doesn’t take cartridges. It’s hi-tech but it only has three buttons and one light on it. Sounds like a conundrum, no?

Gobblet Gobblers

Gobblet Gobblers

One of our favorite games of all time just keeps finding new ways to impress our testers. From the original Gobblet, which we raved about and exclaimed, “We dare you to play this game just once!” to Gobblet Junior which we dubbed as simply “ingenius”, it has been quite a run for Gobblet. Now it

Yamslam

Yamslam

Fun for the whole family, Yamslam is reminiscent of a variety of dice rolling games with a couple of nice twists. What impressed our testers right from the start was the intriguing and equally appealing box, or more precisely the molded metal container. Inside the red felt and the clay chips lent an air of

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:
