With the structure for the selection of the The
Toy Man® Product Guide - "Q1
Top Ten" being
such that it is a "group"
choice, each evaluator has their own unique perspective on
positive point on products. The "editor's
favorite™", ef™ notation
provides me, as the chief editor of The
Toy Man® Product Guide™, an opportunity to provide recognition of
the products that are my own personal favorites.
My judgment is based primarily yet not entirely upon the following factors: |
- Functionality
- Educational Value
- Contribution to Skill Development
|
- Marketability
- Visual Appeal
- FunFactor™ (If applicable)
|
|
The products that have received the "ef™" notation
are products which I feel are an invaluable investment and/or
provide a substantial contribution to positive skill growth and productivity.
Most important of all to me are the products which contribute to education.
Education is the foundation of success and
has a long term impact in the lives of everyone.
