During this weekend’s Toy Fair, The Toy Foundation announced this year’s winners for “Toy of the Year” across 17 categories and two “people’s choice awards.”
The awards recognize the top toys, games, and licenses with the finalists being selected by a panel of judges and then a general vote by consumers, members of the Toy Association, retailers, journalists, bloggers, and academics.
