Dr. Toy Names Zen Baby DVD One of the “100 Best Children’s Products for 2004”
Los Angeles, CA (October 20, 2004) – Zen Baby has added another award to its growing list of notable achievements. Dr. Toy has chosen the Zen Baby DVD as one of the “100 Best Children’s Products for 2004”. "Children learn best through play," says noted child development authority, Dr. Stevanne Auerbach, Ph.D. (a.k.a. Dr. Toy), "and these smart products encourage children to maximize their potentials."
The “100 Best Children's Products 2004" Award Program was developed by Dr. Auerbach, as a service to consumers who desire to purchase safe, affordable, educationally oriented, and stimulating toys and products for children. This comprehensive report, published annually for parents just in time for the holiday season, features products that were carefully chosen from among hundreds reviewed at toy fairs, catalogs, and through other sources. Dr. Auerbach believes "parents and grandparents need help to get a head start locating new, diversified products that children will enjoy using while they increase learning skills, enhance instruction and expand creativity." Each product is reviewed using extensive criteria she has developed over the years including: safety, age-appropriateness, design, durability, lasting play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, educational value, learning skills, creativity, and fun.
Already a favorite with parents nationwide, Zen Baby has become a top recommendation of industry experts this year as the only infant and toddler video created to help promote a sense of peace and well being in the home, so that baby and caregiver can become receptive to the beauty and inspiration in life. Said Brooke Shields, celebrity mother of seventeen month old Rowan, “I'm not sure who got more relaxed watching Zen Baby - my daughter or myself!!"
