Oppenheim Toy Portfolio AwardThe Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award was founded in 1989 as the only independent consumer review of children's media. Their newsletter is published quarterly and is an ad-free subscription-based periodical for parents, grandparents, libraries and childcare providers. When consumers see their award seals on products, they can be assured that they are "award-winning" because they were selected by a noted expert in child development, children's literature, and education, and further tested by the most objective panel of judges-kids. To get a meaningful sampling, they deal with families from all walks of life. Testers are from the city and in the country, in diapers and in blue jeans, in school clothes and in tutus. They are parents who are teachers, secretaries, lawyers, doctors, writers, engineers, doormen, software programmers, editors, psychologists, librarians, engineers, business people, architects, family therapists, musicians, artists, nurses, and early childhood educators. In some instances they have tested products in preschool and after-school settings where they can get feedback from groups of children. Since all new products tend to have novelty appeal, testers are asked to live with a product for a while before assessing it. Among other things, they are always asked-would you recommend it to others? CASTLE KEEP $12.99 Castle Keep is the game of medieval strategy and siege! Raise your castle, and raze the enemy!
