West Newbury, MA (PRWEB) June 24, 2009 -- KidzsackTM, an innovator of creative, eco-friendly toys, announced today that it has received the coveted Dr. Toy's Best Play and Learn Vacation Award Winning Products for Summer 2009. Dr. Toy's Best Play and Learn Vacation Products Awards were developed by noted child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Toy), as a service to consumers who desire to purchase safe, affordable, educationally-oriented, and stimulating toys and play products for children for vacation time at home or on the road.

Dr. Toy's Best Products for Summer 2009 are carefully chosen from among hundreds reviewed at toy fairs, in catalogs, and through many other sources. Among the criteria used are: safety, age-appropriateness, design, durability, lasting play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, good transition from home to school, educational value, learning skills, creativity, improvement in the understanding of the community and the world, good value for price, and, naturally, fun. In the award report, the Kidzsack is described as an "Innovative, eco-friendly and creative backsack." Manufactured in the USA, the Kidzsack is a "fun and creative bag for kids on the go!"

"I am honored to receive this prestigious award. To be recognized by the industry's leading authority on children's play and toys," said Tina Hill, president of Kidzsack. "The Kidzsack fosters creativity, advocates 'playing green' and is an ideal toy for kids on the move. Whether they are heading off to vacation, camp or to the local park - they can engage their imaginations and use their finished product to hold their belongings."

"Children learn best through play," says Dr. Auerbach. "The Best Products encourage children to maximize their potential and make the most of Smart Play. The Kidzsack is a perfect example of a toy that meets these criteria and at the same time is environmentally responsible. By making a renewed focus on summertime as a special time for choosing new products for children, parents improve their children's development. This is a perfect time to 'take stock' and do an inventory of what your child is playing with, what is not used, and what they need next in their development."

Other companies to receive the award include, "Alex, Corolle, HABA, Manhattan Toy, Playmobil, Mindware and Schylling. For more information about Dr. Toy or to see other Dr. Toy Award winners, visit their website at www.drtoy.com.
