Parenting Magazine Unveils 2008 Mom-Tested Toys Of The Year
Parenting.com Launches Multimedia Shopping Channel and $1000 Toys of the Year Giveaway Sweepstakes
New York, NY (PRWEB) October 22, 2008 -- Parenting magazine gives moms a head-start on the annual holiday hunt for the perfect toy in its November issue: 25 of the year's most fun, innovative and educational toys, tested by hundreds of children around the country, then rated with a final stamp of approval by moms.
Parenting magazine, November 2008
Only those toys that passed the "Mom Test" made Parenting's list - meaning no games with hundreds of little pieces that will end up all over the living room floor, no stuffed animals with annoying musical jingles and no off switch, and no gadgets that moms will spend more time putting together than their kids will end up playing with!
Parenting.com Shopping Channel: Watch, Click, Buy
To kick off the holiday shopping season, Parenting.com introduces the Parenting.com Shopping Channel, a new online video commerce tool developed by BrainBox Digital that enables users to make purchases while they view videos of Parenting editors discussing their favorite product recommendations. The Parenting.com Shopping Channel launches with a series of shopping guide videos highlighting the Mom-Tested Toys of the Year and the Parenting.com Video Game Cheat Sheet, a guide to choosing the right video games for kids.
