The Noise on Toys Awards The Noise on Toys Awards
Our little testing elves have been hard at work playing, all year long so you'll know what to buy this holiday season. Each of our award toys totally WOWed our parent and kid testers. They are truly the "bestest" from almost 400 different toys and games play tested in 2010.
We distributed over 2,000 toy samples this year to our volunteer families in Toronto and Ottawa, who play tested them for two months in their own homes. Testing kids let us know why the toys are fun, while their parents rated the toys for design, quality, cost value, and overall satisfaction - as well as safety and educational merit. Based on their feedback, approximately 1 in 10 toys receive the Gold Choice award, while less than 3% are awarded Platinum. Check out our reviews to see which of these great toys best suit your child.
