Tech Toys – Just like Mom and Dad Have |
Kids love to emulate mom and dad – and want toys
to play with just like their parents have. Instead of letting kids use
the new iPad or iPhone we are looking for kids versions of today’s
adult tech toys (cameras, lap tops, cell phones, etc). |
| August 1 |
Super for Sleepovers |
Toys, games and activities (e.g., Mad Libs, arts and
crafts, interactive games, etc.) that are super for children’s
sleepovers, birthday parties, or other playdates. |
To submit a product idea, please e-mail product details (including
price, age, a brief description, and a link to additional online product
information) to aappell@toyassociation.org;
product images and attachments are not necessary in the initial
transmittal. Preference will be given to TIA member companies for
all publicity opportunities.
Manufacturers will be asked to verify that all recommended products
comply with relevant toy safety laws and standards and that the products
selected for coverage will be available at retail by the time the
coverage is expected to air or be published.
Once the TIA team reviews the recommendations received and selects
items for inclusion in a specific video or article, product samples may
be requested.
Questions can be directed to TIA’s Adrienne Appell or Stacy Leistner.
