The NAPPA recognition is far more than simply a “good-enough” seal of approval. It signifies that the winning product has been rigorously evaluated against stringent criteria and that it stands out among hundreds of other products from all around the world. Only the best products win the prestigious NAPPA recognition.
NAPPA’s team of independent expert judges and family testers (parents and kids) select the most entertaining, appealing, safe, educational, age-appropriate and enduring products as NAPPA Gold and Honors winners.
The most comprehensive awards program of its kind, NAPPA holds two distinct competitions each year:
The Oppenheim’s review the submissions, weeding out products that are unsafe, unsound or obviously unworthy. Promising products are then kid tested by families nationwide. Finally, the experts consider these results as part of the overall evaluation of the product. Unlike publications that rely exclusively on the judgment of kid-testers, these reviews take kid-tester's response to a product as one of the many factors to be considered, along with educational and play value, safety, age appropriateness, and other factors.
