Creative Child Magazine hosts a 2-day annual event in Henderson, Nevada where guest reviewers are invited to participate. All products are divided into categories and displayed at various review stations. Guest reviewers are asked to review multiple products, allowing each product to be reviewed based on criteria that correspond to the product's category. Upon completion of the event all review forms are collected, scores are tabulated and awards given (or not) based on dozens of comments.

All products submitted, including award winners, are officially announced at www.creativechild.com and are showcased in their big Holiday issue, distributed in early November. Only one product per category can win a Product of the Year award, as well as Toy, Book and Game of the Year. The remaining finalists receive a prestigious Preferred Choice award -- given to Runners-Up of the Product, Toy, Book and Game of the Year.

Already the recipient of such honors as a pair of 2008 Seals of Approval from The National Parenting Center and three 2008 NAPPA Gold Awards, Money Savvy Generation continues to develop innovative products to help parents, educators and others teach kids the skills of basic personal finance. The company strives to empower kids to take control of their financial lives and, in turn, their futures. The company sells more 4-chambered savings banks (pigs, cows and footballs) than anyone else in the world.

Money Savvy Generation also has the most complete personal finance content (curriculum, activity books, seminars, television programming, songs and other products) for elementary school children. Its passion is to inoculate children against economic illiteracy at an early age.
