Goddard School hosts toy test event

MEDINA, Ohio - The Goddard School, located in Medina, got into the holiday spirit during its third annual Preschooler-Approved Toy Test event.

The children at the Goddard School had a unique opportunity to play with the toys. Each preschooler then casted their vote to choose their favorite.

The preschoolers at the Goddard School will determine the top five toys for the holidays from a selection of toys identified from a nationwide search.  These select toys not only encourage creativity, but are designed to encourage playful learning.

"As leaders in early childhood development, we recognize that our families want to know which toys are both safe and engaging for children," said Lisa Colant, owner of the Goddard School located in Medina.

At the Goddard School, children are encouraged to develop at their own pace in a warm environment, supported by a team of dedicated teachers. Children are also provided with carefully planned educational programs that meet the social, emotional, cognitive and physical needs of each child.

Here are the top five toys from this year's toy test:

• Kid K'nex Railroad Pals Building Set
• Baby Stella
• Slimy, Squishy Polymer Fun
• Citi Blocs 200 Piece Hot & Cool Color Set
• Green Toys Blocks
