African Dwarf Frogs Make for Top Fun
Myrtle Beach, SC — The Brothers Grimm may not have been the first to realize that frogs are a lot more than slimy swamp swimmers, but they were certainly the first to write about how amazing frogs actually are. Wild Creations agrees 100%. And to prove it, their Eco-Aquarium will introduce kids to their very own froggy friends. They may not end up at Buckingham Palace, but as Wild Creations was just dubbed with a Tillywig 2010 Top Toy Award, these cool, low-maintenance pets can lay claim to some royalty.
In order to be selected as a Tillywig award winner, a product must be determined to have high entertainment and/or educational value. Tillywig’s awards program provides retail buyers, news media, parents, and consumers with product information and reviews of superior children’s products available in today’s marketplace. After extensive testing, they bestowed three different awards – Top Fun, Brain Child and Sterling Fun — to children’s products currently on specialty toy store shelves.
Products earning a Top Fun Award are exceptional products that stand out in terms of outstanding design, construction, and play. Here’s what the judges at Tillywig Toy Awards had to say about the Classic Kit Eco-Aquarium:
Wild Creations’ Classic Kit Eco-Aquarium • $30.00 • Ages 5-15 Picture this: You answer a knock at your door and find a delivery man with a package your children excitedly open to find . . . frogs, LIVING FROGS! How cool is that? Few things are as fun for a child as getting a new pet, and few things are as gratifying for a parent as finding a pet that requires near zero maintenance, in other words, a pet you can say yes to with all your heart. The Classic Kit Eco-Aquarium from Wild Creations does just that, providing two companion Dwarf African Frogs, a one year supply of food, and all the trappings you need to populate the self-maintaining aquarium (merely change water every 3 months). The frog couple we received (we named them Guinevere and Lancelot) are cute as the dickens. When resting, the pair often squeeze together, piggyback style, behind the decorative rock. Home, sweet home!
In addition to the evaluation of children’s products, the Tillywig program also awards a small number of retail stores each year for their ongoing contributions to promoting high quality, innovative new products from small and mid-sized toy manufacturers.
