For our third annual Kids’ Book awards, we went straight to the source: children themselves—more than 150 children, from babies to tweens rated and reviewed stories. Then, our team of experts (and a few celebs) carefully weighed each review and narrowed down hundreds of books to 57 winners across eight categories. Here are just a few winners, so make sure to check the link in our bio for the full list. And a special thanks to Craig Melvin, Laura Jarrett & Dylan Dreyer for testing some of our nominees. ✨

Our 300 kid testers helped us find our 2024 Best Toy Award Winners!🧸 https://lnkd.in/gEcfKhWp

The results are in! Good Housekeeping is pleased to unveil this year’s Best Toy Award winners. As part of the team that tests #toys, I can say we’re really serious about play! This year, we tested nearly 300 toys to find the ones that kids were excited to play with and returned to again and again. Ultimately, it was the kid feedback that elevated winners above the others. We know it's easy for a toy to cut a flashy commercial or whip up a lot of buzz online, but in the end, the hype doesn’t matter if kids don’t enjoy playing with something — and we set out to find the toys they TRULY loved. (Case in point: My 8-year-old tested Jada Toys’s remote-controlled Godzilla, and it’s a cherished member of our family now.) To find out which ones were deemed the cream of the crop, visit the link below. 🌟 - Marisa LaScala (Senior Editor, Parenting & Relationships) https://lnkd.in/gEcfKhWp

There are extensive benefits of reading, for both physical and emotional health. However, research shows that kids' enjoyment of reading declines as they age. But why? Probably the same reason they hate to eat broccoli — because they perceive they “have to.” In the link below, experts share their tried and true tips for infusing a love of reading into our kids’ lives without it becoming a battle. 📚 https://lnkd.in/g-H9s24r

I’m Marisa LaScala and I cover toys for a living, and a lot of times that means getting to act like a kid who just won a sweepstakes that lets them run through the aisle of a toy store getting anything they can grab. But when I put my actual parent hat on, the reality of keeping the family budget brings me back to Earth. I know first-hand that parents are always looking for a good bargain. But of course, no matter how steep a discount is, it means nothing if that money is spent on a toy that’s never played with. That’s why, this Amazon Prime Big Deal Day, I’ve scoured the toy deals to find deals that’ll please both parents AND kids. From big-ticket show-stoppers to just a little-something gifts, these toys — for every age and budget — are totally worth the money.   https://lnkd.in/eyMxaE76
