(Cleveland, OH)  For the first time ever in one year, 5 Creativity for Kids kits received a Platinum Award from Oppenheim Toy Portfolio.  This is the highest award given by this organization to recognize outstanding toy products in the marketplace that provide enriching play experiences for children and adhere to current toy safety standards. 

And the 2009 Platinum Award goes to: 
 
FingerPrints Finger Painting Set is a fun finger painting set with a twist.  Paint on the plastic sheet provided and then create a transfer print of your painting with the paper and roller.  There are 6 colors of washable finger paint to use, plus a printing tray, printing mat, foam roller, squeegee, sponge, and a plastic apron.  You can also do traditional finger painting right on the paper.

Money Monster Banks includes two whimsical ceramic banks to decorate anyway you like with paint, fun fur, and wiggly eyes.  Feed these adorable monsters with your money and watch your savings grow.  The larger bank holds paper bills and the smaller one takes coins – each comes with a plastic stopper for easy access to your money.

Customize a cool car with Custom Street Machine.  Paint the car however you want, then add rub-on transfer designs and 3-D stickers.  The car is made of solid wood with chrome-effect rims, and comes with a stand to display your model.

Store your favorite jewelry inside Fancy Felt Trinket Keeper.  Decorate the box with over 100 pretty peel-and-stick felt shapes.  The keeper has a swivel opening to reveal two velvet-lined shelves inside to store your jewelry and hairclips.  Tie the box with a pretty grosgrain ribbon bow.

Create a fun accessory with Felt Fashions Messenger Bag.  Decorate this canvas bag with an assortment of brightly colored peel-and-stick felt shapes, following the tone-on-tone printed design already on the bag.  Add a stylish key ring and you’re ready to shop or visit a friend in style.  The messenger bag is 12 ¾” x 12 ½” and 2 ¼” deep with an adjustable pink strap.
