About Eleanor Bloom

Hi, I'm Eleanor Bloom! With over 30 years in early childhood education and as a mother of three, I've dedicated my life to finding toys that are not only fun but also foster creativity, development, and safety.

My Story

My journey began in a small town preschool, where I quickly realized the transformative power of play. I observed firsthand how the right toys could unlock a child's imagination and spark their learning. This sparked a lifelong passion for curating the best toys for children's development.

Becoming a mother myself only deepened my commitment. I wanted to provide my own children with toys that were not only entertaining but also safe, educational, and conducive to their growth. I spent countless hours researching, testing, and sometimes, regrettably, discovering which toys fell short.

Over the years, I've developed a keen eye for identifying toys that genuinely contribute to a child's development. I've seen trends come and go, but my focus remains steadfast: providing honest, practical advice to parents and educators who want the best for their children.

My experience isn't just theoretical; it's built on years of real-world observations, trials, and errors. I've learned what works, what doesn't, and why.

What I Believe In

• Safety First: A child's well-being is paramount.
• Creativity Unleashed: Toys should inspire imagination and innovation.
• Development-Focused: Playtime is learning time.
• Honest Reviews: I share the truth, even if it's not what you want to hear.

Why Trust My Reviews?

My reviews are based on a comprehensive evaluation process that includes hands-on testing, meticulous research, and careful consideration of safety standards. I prioritize toys that meet stringent safety requirements and offer genuine educational value. I always test the products in a real life setting with the target age group and I am not afraid to call out a product's weakness

“The best toys are those that unlock a child's potential and ignite their imagination.”
