Rules


2006 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Gold Seal

The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio was founded in 1989 as the only independent consumer review of children's media such as toys and games, books, and videos. When reviewing new products, the organization adheres to stringent guidelines. Play testers must answer questions such as “What is this product designed to do and how well does it do it? What can the child do with the product? Does it invite active doing and thinking or simply passive watching?” Other criteria include crucial adherence to safety guidelines, excellence in concept and design, and age appropriateness.
