The Cure for the Common Toy
It’s easy to get your daily dose of adorable with Mudpuppy’s Fruits & Veggies Wooden Magnetic Sets, Galison/Mudpuppy’s most recent Dr. Toy Award recipient. This colorful set of wooden magnets was named one of Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Children’s Products for 2012.
Dr. Toy’s Best Children’s Products Awards were developed by noted child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D., as a guide for consumers who want to purchase safe, affordable, educationally oriented, and stimulating toys and products for children. Dr. Toy identifies the most appropriate, engaging learning and developmental products on the market.
Products are carefully selected from among many hundreds Dr. Auerbach reviews at toy fairs, catalogs, and other sources. Candidates are evaluated by using extensive criteria developed over many years: safety, age-appropriateness, design, durability, play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, transition from home to school, educational value, learning skills, creativity, understanding community and world, good value, and, naturally, fun.
Mudpuppy’s Fruits & Veggie magnets not only inspire one to eat green but they are green as they contain 80% recycled wood. This earned them a place in Dr. Toys 10 Best Socially-Responsible Category. Each set comes in a fully illustrated, sturdy re-sealable milk carton style container. Perfect for teaching children nutrition or tacking the grocery list on the fridge, each of the set’s 35 full-color fruit or vegetable magnets is made of wood with a magnetic backing. Where else could garlic and kiwi mingle in such harmony?
