Thank you to Brilliant Sky Toys & Books for providing me with samples to review. All opinions are my own.
As a mom to littles, I am always looking for fun, imaginative and new toys to introduce to my kids and with the holiday season fast approaching, I’m sure all parents will be on the look out for fun gifts for their kiddos. The Brilliant Sky Toys & Books Brilliance Award winners for 2014 is a great reference when looking for the perfect toy or gift for any child since Brilliance Award Toys were selected based on value, the quality of open ended play time, and the simple beauty of a child’s delight. The award winners include wonderful brands in the toy business such as Manhattan Toy and Usborne Books.
The 2014 Brilliance Award Toy List includes:
- Tree Top Adventure
- Squigz Starter Set (24 pieces)
- Plus-Plus Mini-Basic (480 pieces)

We were given the chance to see for ourselves a few of the award winners, including the Tree Top Adventure and the Usborne Illustrated Fairy Tales book. Needless to say they have both been massive hits with my kids!
I can certainly see why the Tree Top Adventure merited a Brilliance Award. It’s beautifully designed, offers lots of play modes and boosts fine motor skills while showing cause and effect. I love the bright colors and the natural look of the toy, plus I can tell it’s built to last through years of play.
My 3 year old son absolutely loves playing with the Tree Top Adventure, but when it comes to my 5 year old daughter, she’d rather sit down with the Usborne Illustrated Fairy Tales book and read all about knights in shining armor and beautiful princesses.
To say I love this book would be a massive understatement. The book contains over 300 pages of classic fairy tales with beautiful and fun illustrations to go with each page. The words are larger so children can read it themselves and I like that the words they use are easy for children to understand. No story is too long and the collection of fairy tales that’s offered are ones that most children would already know.
Both of the Brilliance Award winners we were able to check out certainly earned their place among the medalists!

sono in possesso del libro Usborn Illustrated Fairy Tales che trovo molto ben scritto e attraente, ma vorrei che fosse accompagnato da CD in cui bravi attori leggessero le fiabe e ciò come ausilio per imparare la pronunzia della lingua inglese. Non capisco perché gli autori e la casa editrice non ci abbiano pensato. Se avvenisse sarei pronto a comprare i CD (non compatti MP3 perché non tutti hanno questo tipo di lettore ). Grazie
