EVEN THE CHOOSIEST CHOOSE CITIBLOCS
Parents’ Choice Foundation Awards CitiBlocs with Recommended Seal
Tampa, FL (March 22, 2010)— Less than a year since they were first introduced, CitiBlocs is
welcoming its 17th industry award, a prestigious Parents’ Choice Foundation Recommended Seal.
The ultra competitive Parents' Choice Award program recognizes the very best products for children
of not only different ages and backgrounds but of varied skill and interest levels. They look for good
toys, puzzles and games that offer new ways of thinking, new ways of seeing, and new ways of
creating. To earn a Parents’ Choice Recommended Seal, products must be wholesome and enjoyable
while encouraging children to developing physical, emotional, social or academic skills.
Here’s what the Parents’ Choice judges had to say about the 200 piece set of CitiBlocs:
CitiBlocs 200 Piece Set • $49.95 • Ages 3+
“For those wondering how to impart eco-friendly building lessons
with lightweight eco-friendly material that is easy on the eyes,
easy to store and relatively easy on the pocketbook, put this set of
200 Citiblocs on the top of your eco-easy list. Each uniform piece,
made from New Zealand pinewood harvested from FSC renewable
forests, measures 4 ½ inches long, ¾ inches wide, and ¼ inch
thick."
Starting with simple structures (not all projects pictured on the
package are for beginners) this set will measure up as the
engineering abilities and creativity of young Bauhaus builders grows. As aspiring architects
and city planners develop their designs and shape their skylines, don’t be surprised to hear
the names of Walter Gropius Ludwig Mies van der Rohe, and Philip Johnson tossed about
your playroom.”

debut: Good Housekeeping Best Toy Award 2009; National Parenting Publications Awards
(NAPPA) 2009 Honors Award; Dr. Toy Best 100 Children’s Products for 2009; Creative Child’s
