b.dazzle - producers of gifts, games and fun: News Releases

REDONDO BEACH, CA...September 28, 2011... b. dazzle, inc. of Redondo Beach, California, has announced that its newest Scramble Squares® 9-piece puzzle, “Ladybugs,” has been named one of "Dr. Toy's Best Picks Children’s Products for 2011" by The Institute for Childhood Resources in San Francisco.

In announcing these awards, noted child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Toy), Director of The Institute For Childhood Resources, founded in San Francisco in 1975, and a childhood specialist for over 40 years, said, "Dr. Toy’s 100 Best Picks Children’s Products for 2011 is being released “ to encourage parents and teachers to focus on the value of play as essential to the learning process.” She adds, “Smart play products selected from many excellent companies across the U.S.A., Canada and other countries provide children with exciting new developmentally appropriate tools to help them do better in school, and also provide more constructive activities after school.”

Dr. Auerbach believes “parents and grandparents need help to gain a head start locating new, diversified products that children will enjoy while increasing skills, enhance instruction and expand imagination.” The products, balanced among large and small companies, range from low to high tech for “hours of active, creative, educational, and stimulating fun. Children learn best through play,” says Dr. Auerbach, “and these smart new toys and products encourage children to maximize their potentials.”

“Dr. Toy's Best Picks” were carefully chosen as worthy of attention from among thousands that she has reviewed at toy fairs, catalogs, and through many other
sources, and by using extensive criteria she has developed over many years. Among the criteria used are: safety, age-appropriateness, design, durability, lasting play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, good transition from home to school, educational value, learning skills, creativity, improvement in the understanding of the community and the world, good value for price, and, naturally, fun.
