First thing I do when I get your list is put it on my iPhone before I go shopping! The toys that you pick are the ones the boys keep playing with in new and creative ways ... your list is fantastic!
Southport, Connecticut (PRWEB) November 12, 2012
Sustained interaction with children guides Playonwords founder, Sherry Artemenko, to a unique subset of the best toys, games and books that have the chemistry to develop language while delivering great play. Today, Playonwords is announcing the Top 10 picks in each product category of 2012 winners.
Providing parents and educators with the TOP 10 PAL Award Picks for 2012, takes guess work out of gift giving for the holidays. Each product has been tested and reviewed by Sherry and her team of parents, kids and educators. Observing kids in action, combined with her critical eye for language potential, Sherry awards products and writes insightful reviews offering practical tips on how to maximize the educational value in each winner. Many parents and educators find PAL winners and play ideas helpful throughout the year on Sherry’s blog, playonwords.com.
Uniquely understanding how the interaction of new toys and healthy play can advance language development is what distinguishes the PAL Award. Sherry’s expertise has been tapped by NBC Connecticut, The Chicago Tribune, parenting.com and ASHASphere.
For Sherry, great play is not just about fun, or cognitive development, it’s about going deep on both. Her expertise has been built on science and more than 15,000 hours of client experience. Each set of Top 10’s represent a breadth of themes and genres, but they all have one thing in common, they are trusted lists of fun products that educate through play.
