Everfan Whimsical Superhero Capes Win Toy Industry Award

Online, October 16, 2013 (Newswire.com) - Everfan's superhero outfits won "Dr. Toy's Best Picks Children's Products for 2013" for their whimsical cape, according to a recent award report. The superhero outfits feature a kid-friendly graphic, ranging from wizards and pirates to cupcakes and fairies.

The Thomasville, Ga-based superhero company features three lines-- collegiate, whimsical and personalized. The award-winning whimsical line is inspired by the various abilities and interests of children and encourage them to tap into their greatest power-- imagination, according to Everfan CEO Scott Chastain.

The Dr. Toy Award Program was developed by noted play and child development authority, Stevanne Auerbach, PhD, (a.k.a. Dr. Toy) as a service to consumers who desire to purchase safe, affordable, educationally oriented, stimulating new toys and play products for children.

"As a childhood specialist for over 40 years," says Dr. Toy, "I have seen the continuous, essential need for more year-round diverse resources for consumers to identify and choose the most appropriate, safe, and engaging learning and developmental products for all children."

The capes are available at numerous children's boutiques and online at Everfan.com. Chastain believes the capes reinforce Dr. Toy's research on the value of play as essential to the learning process.
Auerbach adds, "Smart play products selected from many excellent companies across the U.S.A., Canada, and other countries provide children with exciting new developmentally appropriate tools to help them do better in school, and also provide more constructive activities after school."

Dr. Auerbach believes "parents and grandparents need help to gain a head start locating new, diversified products that children will enjoy while increasing skills, enhancing instruction, and expanding imagination." The products are balanced among large and small companies, and range from low to high tech for "hours of active, creative, educational, and stimulating fun."

"Children learn best through play," says Dr. Auerbach, "and these new smart toys and products encourage children to maximize their potentials."

"This is a good time to 'take stock' and do an inventory of what your child is playing with, what is not used and what they need next in their development." adds Dr. Toy. "Dr. Toy's Guide offers excellent ideas for choosing new products for use in learning, after school play, and during the holidays ahead."

Everfan's whimsical capes were carefully chosen as worthy of attention from among thousands of toy products that she has reviewed at toy fairs, in catalogs, and through many other sources, and by using extensive criteria she has developed over many years. Among the criteria used are: safety, age-appropriateness, design, durability, lasting play value, cultural and ethnic diversity, good transition from home to school, educational value, learning skills, creativity, improvement in the understanding of the community and the world, good value for price, and, naturally, fun.
