What an amazing event Toy Fest must be. It would be so fun to see all the innovative and educational toys coming out. As a teacher and parent I appreciate quality items for the class and home. Thanks Moms Choice Awards for the article.

This must be so much fun to attend!
This really seems like something I would’ve liked to participate in, wholesome family fun :-)
It’s amazing how much children learn while “playing”. And honestly, even as an adult, I’d rather learn through play too!
I love going to these shows. Its amazing what some of the vendors have created for kids. I haven’t been to one in many years but I always enjoyed viewing all the new things and talking to the creators for vendors about their items.
