Important Advisory: We are now requiring companies to provide us with documentation that their products have been tested by an independent lab for phthalates and lead. We are requiring products submtted going forward to: (1) Follow the guidelines of the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendation that products contain no more than trace amounts of lead (as defined by the AAP as 40 parts per million); and (2) contain no phthalates. However, as we are not a lab, we will not be independently verifying those results. Also, with the exception of the 2008 Platinum Toy Awards, toys submitted for review prior to January 2008 were not tested for lead.. Safety Recalls: Given the absence of more stringent federal legislation, we encourage consumers to keep up to date on safety recalls. Sign up for CPSC safety email alerts. Click here.

Ready
For More: School-aged kids have the dexterity to handle more elablorate
building toys and art materials. They can work on projects that take
more than a day and involve problem solving. They are curious about
how things work and take pride in making things that can be used for
play or displayed with pride. Older kids are also ready for games
that involve strategy skills.
