Latest Product from Fat Brain Toy Co. wins Parents’ Choice Gold Award

Twig’s precision wooden shapes and vibrant colors create “ooh’s” and “ah’s”

Elkhorn, NE – June 8, 2009 - Fat Brain Toy Co, an award-winning specialty toy manufacturer, announced today that its latest toy, Twig™, won the Parents’ Choice Gold Award. Established in 1978, Parents’ Choice is the nation's oldest nonprofit guide to quality children's media and toys.

Twig is a building toy made of natural wood, carved with care and colored with brilliance. Light plays its way through the windows of Twig™ - illuminating lines, contours, space, and arrangement. Each Twig™ set consists of 72 wooden pieces, precision-cut and compatible with one another. The interactivity between components means limitless combinations in open-ended play.

Parents’ Choice Review of Twig™: “Opening the box containing this exquisitely designed set of blocks elicited gasps of ‘Ooh's’ and ‘Ah's’ from goggle-eyed youngsters who couldn't wait to get their hands on them! The children have never before seen blocks like these, which have open spaces, holes and slots that make it possible for the compatible, precision-cut pieces to slide into, between and alongside one another. The results of their freewheeling constructions have been astonishing.”

Parents’ Choice recommends only those toys with staying power, books with honesty and integrity of characters, illustrations of elegance and imagination, music that families can sing together, storytelling that teaches us lessons from lands and cultures close and far away, magazines that do not mask editorial content in advertising, television that teaches with civility and not chaos, and software and video games that encourage sharpening skills not leveling landscapes.

“As one of the most respected award programs in the industry, we are thrilled to receive this honor from the Parents’ Choice Foundation. Striving to offer toys that educate and entertain, it’s always gratifying to be recognized by an authority such as Parents’ Choice,” said Mark Carson, founder of Fat Brain Toy Co.
