Winners List

Press Release

Summertime is a great time to explore many different activities at home, indoors, outdoors, at the beach, going to nature in any of its forms. The products Dr. Toy has selected provide your child with experiences to help them learn during the summertime activities. There are great products to take along on trips and to explore once you arrive at your destination. These are products that will give your child plenty of things to do if you're staying at home.

Summertime should be about fun and learning, testing limits and learning new skills. These products provide children with creativity activities. They will stimulate them with a whole range of new skills—physical activity—the fun of flying a kite to throwing a ball or bowling. Learning during the summer can include getting a jump start on skills like learning phonics, reading new books, playing math or other strategy games and well having fun from all kinds of great activities.

There is something for everyone in this vast array of products. All of the companies have provided best possible activities intended to give your child a running leap during the summertime. This summer will be about fun, exploration, and gaining new confidence.

We would like to hear from you about the experiences your child has with any of these products. We expect they will provide fun and learning, relaxation and stimulation, and a chance to test out all aspects of your child's abilities. HAVE A GREAT TIME! Tell Dr. Toy about any questions you have about play and toys. Thanks for telling others you learned about these products from Dr. Toy's Award winners.

Let's play!
