Judged by the people
who watch children play
Toy libraries, early-years panels, teachers and parenting press have tested Tolo products for four decades. Not marketing panels — juries who put the toy in front of children and watch what happens.
What they keep rewarding is the thing that is hardest to design in: a toy that still has something left to discover on the tenth visit.
