Description

Every year, hundreds of toys are selected as representative of those being offered on the market. These toys are then tested by Canadian children in everyday settings, to assess design, function, safety, durability, battery consumption and play value. The Council rates each toy, awarding Three Stars, Two Stars, One Star, Novelty or Not Recommended. All testing is performed by specially trained volunteeer families in the home environment. You can find the ratings and a review of each toy tested in editions of the TOY REPORT, published annually by the CTTC to our website: www.toy-testing.org. The Council's list of recommended books for children can also be found at the website, along with other consumer information.
