NEW YORK – October 15, 2010 – Disney© FamilyFun today announced their 19th annual Toy of the Year (T.O.Y.) Award winners, published in FamilyFun’s November issue. More than 500 new toys were narrowed down by parent and kid testers from across the country, who evaluated quality, value, and of course, fun. Using FamilyFun’s new ToyHopper App, available now on the App Store for iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, it’s now easier than ever for busy parents to find the perfect gift, including this year’s T.O.Y. Award winners and hundreds of other toys, books, DVDs, and video games. Each item has been family-tested and hand-picked by FamilyFun editors and can be sorted into shopping lists, shared with friends, and filtered by age, price, type, or theme.
Top 10 FamilyFun T.O.Y. Award Winners for 2010:
“For nearly twenty years, we’ve served as a trusted resource for parents when they’re making their annual holiday shopping list and checking it twice, so it’s important that each toy undergoes an intensive assessment by FamilyFun toy testers for function, design, durability, safety, and play value,” said Ann Hallock, editorial director at FamilyFun.
FamilyFun ToyHopper App: FamilyFun’s new ToyHopper App allows parents to complete all of their holiday and birthday shopping from the convenience of their iPhone, iPod touch, or iPad. The app filters more than 280 toys by age, price, type of product, and even theme — from pirates and princesses to bikes for tikes — and allows users to purchase products through Amazon.com. All the products recommended in the ToyHopper App were selected by FamilyFun editors as well as parent and kid testers, who evaluated quality, value, and fun. “The ToyHopper App is an ideal way to find hundreds of family-tested products organized in smart and helpful ways, including a carousel to browse a fun mix of toys and collections that present hand-picked groups of toys for a variety of interests. The app also features video demos and personalized wish lists that moms and kids can select and share with family and friends,” said Hallock.
The ToyHopper App features the 34 T.O.Y. Award winners from 2010 and past years’ winners. To view all 2010 T.O.Y. Award winners, pick up the November issue of FamilyFun magazine or visit FamilyFun.com. Disney FamilyFun can also be found on Facebook and Twitter.
The ToyHopper App is available for $1.99 from the App Store on iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad, or at www.itunes.com/appstore/.
