Toy Manufacturer's Handmade Deluxe Custom Monsters Win Prestigious Award

June 11, 2010 (Cedar Park, TX) - The Parents' Choice Foundation honored CurlyQ Cuties' Deluxe Custom Monsters yesterday with a 2010 Parents' Choice Recommended Toy Award.

"I'm thrilled that our Deluxe Custom Monsters have been recognized with this award." said Stephanie Estrin, CurlyQ Cuties' President & CEO. "It validates what we've believed all along -- that our products are original, innovative, and help parents and kids connect through the shared experience of designing their own toy together."

Deluxe Custom Monsters are made-to-order stuffed toys created by customers using the kid-friendly design tools on the CurlyQ Cuties website. Anyone can quickly and interactively create a colorful Monster design by selecting from a variety of vibrant colors, body shapes, and Monster features. Once ordered, the company transforms the design into a real plush toy and ships it directly to the recipient in less than 10 days. Deluxe Custom Monsters start at $30.

The Parents’ Choice Awards program has established the benchmarks of achievement in children’s media and toys. Placing a product in nomination for a Parents’ Choice Award in no way guarantees receipt of commendation. Products are rigorously put through their paces. Among the considerations of the jurors and judges: the learning value, the play value, the appeal, and the cost. In addition, a product’s originality weighs heavily in the judges’ decisions. Fewer than 15% of the products submitted receive any level of commendation.
