This is what it says:Art with Anything (ISBN: 978-0-87659-085-0) has been awarded the Parent Tested, Parent Approved™ Seal of Approval from PTPA Media, Inc. for excellence in family products! Art with Anything was among many entries from across North America competing to win the Parent Tested Parent Approved™ Seal for summer 2010. Because independent parent volunteers evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experiences – not on commercial considerations, quickly gaining recognition as an international leader in certifying consumer products for quality, effectiveness and value.
The first award it won is the NAPPA award.
National Parenting Publications Award! This prestigious award recognizes the most innovative and useful products geared to expectant, new or veteran parents today. “NAPPA-winning products meet the most stringent criteria and are judged by nationally recognized industry experts, educators and advocates in their fields,” says NAPPA spokesperson Barbara Smith Decker. “The NAPPA Parenting Resources awards have set the industry standard of excellence since 1999 and are a sought-after honor by designers, publishers and manufacturers. Parents know that they can trust NAPPA.”
What a wonderful site for parents and everyone who has an opportunity to make art with children. For all my young friends graduating in art education during a recession, I would suggest opening art classes in your garage . Parents are looking for enriching experiences for their kids this summer, especially if their art programs have been cut from curriculums.
I'm suggesting this site for everyone with a child in their life.
