Goddard Systems, Inc. is excited to announce its second annual Top Toys Test! This year, the Goddard Schools will partner with Eco Child’s Play, a leading “green” blog, to choose the hottest eco-friendly toys for the holiday season. The “green” toy focus was inspired by the foundation of the Goddard Schools curriculum – the creation of a safe and nurturing environment for young children based upon learning through play.
The team at Goddard Schools and Eco Child’s Play will select toys based upon the following criteria:
- Interactive, child-initiated play focus
- Creative, social, or engaging
- Eco-friendly
- Appropriate for preschoolers and early elementary school-age children
- Affordable price range ($25 and under)
Once finalists have been announced, Goddard preschoolers across the United States will also have the opportunity to play with the toys and give their feedback. Participating Goddard Schools will then announce their “Local Preschooler Picks” – that School’s favorite five toys. Schools will donate all toys to the Toys for Tots campaign, or to a local charity of the school’s choice.
Goddard Systems, Inc. and Eco Child’s Play are now accepting submissions through October 1, 2009. To download the Goddard’s Toy Test guidelines and application form, visit http://childsplaypr.com/GoddardToyTest.pdf. You can also check the Goddard blog for updates on our Toy Test.
