ImagiPLAY lands 2008 iParenting Award

Boulder, CO – Face it, when it comes to eating fish a lot of kids will give you a huge frown. But when it comes to looking at, reading about or even playing with those same sea creatures, it is all smiles. That’s why Seaworld, “Shark Week” on the Discovery Channel and ImagiPLAY’s PuzzlePlay Sealife puzzle are so popular with children. It may also be why ImagiPLAY’s new aquatic adventure just netted the iParenting Media 2008 Outstanding Product Award.

PuzzlePlay Sealife – Playset and puzzle in one! Designed to access both sides of a child’s brain, the sea creatures in this set are all designed to stand up inspiring creative, open-ended play, then put together into a puzzle, accessing the analytical side of the brain. Made from rubberwood, an earth friendly hardwood, this versatile 16-piece play set provides hours of fun while sparking curiosity about the sea and its inhabitants. Award category: Toys & Games.
