CLEVELAND, OH, October 14, 2011
/24-7PressRelease/ -- "Dr. Toy's Best Picks Children's Products" Awards Program 2011 was developed by noted play and child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Toy) as a service to consumers who desire to purchase safe, affordable, educationally oriented, stimulating new toys and products for children.
"It's such an honor to be selected as one of Dr. Toy's Best Picks this year", said Emily Holdridge, Happy Blankie Owner. "The fact that we're able to not only bring smiles to children around the world, but also promote a spirit of sharing and giving back in our own communities is truly a joy!"
Happy Blankie was created by 7-year-old David Holdridge, who wanted to combine his sister's two favorite things - blankets and stuffed animals. Happy Blankie operates under a "buy one, give one" business model, so when a customer receives their Happy Blankie, they are given a special code to register their Blankie on the website. From there, they can choose where their "One to Give" Blankie is sent from a list of pre-selected giving destinations.
"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. Toys are judged on an extensive set of criteria, such as design, durability, lasting play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, creativity, improvement in the understanding of the community and the world, good value for price, and, naturally, fun.
"Children learn best through play," says Dr. Auerbach, "and these smart new toys and products encourage children to maximize their potentials."
Happy Blankie currently offers small, medium, and large-sized Blankies in 10 different character options. Characters include Chase the Dog, Giggle the Pig, Stomp the Frog, Tumble the Bear, Tobias the Tiger, Wiggle the Hippo, Rumble the Elephant, and Flip the Monkey, as well as a heart-shaped "love" blankie and a peace sign.
