Awards Program Details

Creative Child Magazine's Awards Program is unique in that all products submitted are reviewed by parents and educators. Products are not reviewed by any one person. They are reviewed by many people - the very people who would purchase the amazing toys and products that are submitted every year.

Each year, a review event is held in Henderson, NV where over a 50 guest reviewers are invited to a local conference center to attend our big product review. All products are divided into categories and displayed at various stations. Guest reviewers are asked to sit and review each product at every station. This allows for each product to receive multiple reviews.

An online review form is provided to each guest reviewer, to aid them in evaluating each product. The review forms are to include written comments and a score value based on criteria that corresponds to the product's category. Upon completion of the event, all scores are tabulated and comments are reviewed.

Based on the scores and comments products are then determined to be a finalist for the Top Award of the Year award. Only one product per category can win a Top Toy of the Year, Product of the Year, or Book of the Year, and more. The remaining finalists may receive a prestigious Preferred Choice award or the Seal of Excellence based on their ability to exceed expectations for nurturing creativity in children.

All products submitted, including award winners, are officially announced on our website. The Creative Child Awards seals are a distinguishing mark of achievement and desirability.

Note - The Creative Child Magazine's Awards Program is not a testing program that examines each product on how it adheres to safety for expecting mothers and babies. All reviews are strictly based on the opinions of parents, not safety professionals. We recommend that if you have a concern regarding any of the products featured on our website or published in Creative Child Magazine please contact the Consumer Products Safety Commission.
