Just as parents’ anxiety about finding the right toys for the kids in their lives is setting in, the independent Toy Industry Association (TIA) has launched two web sites for consumers.

• ToyInfo.org provides you with all the information you need to choose the right toys for your family. From toy safety facts to free downloadable play guides, this exciting new site is a one-stop resource for caregivers and parents to discover everything about toys and play.
• Toyawards.org lists the best toys of the year, as selected by toy industry experts. The site showcases the top toys nominated for the 2010 Toy of the Year Awards (TOTY), recognized as the “Oscars®” of the toy industry. Not only will you discover which toys the experts think are best, but for the first time, kids and parents can register for one (or more) of 12 prize packages, and can also vote for their favorite toys.

I wanted to pass this valuable info. out to all of my readers. I think toy safety for everyone’s children is extremely important so these are definitely 2 sites you will want to check out while shopping for your children this holiday season! These sites are very easy to navigate and you can see what the hottest toys are of the season and also vote on what your top your child’s top picks are.  You can also sign up for discussion boards and also to be on a “recall” list in the event a toy is recalled they will notify you via email.
