Toy of the Year Finalist

The Toy Foundation’s Toy of the Year® (TOTY®) awards recognize the top toys, games and licenses across 17 categories of play. Finalists are selected from hundreds of submissions by an independent panel of play experts, journalists, academics, retailers and other toy experts, who consider each nominated product’s creativity and originality; design and quality; and play value. Category winners are announced at the TOTY Awards on Feb 28th, 2025 - just ahead of the North American International Toy Fair, the largest toy tradeshow in the Western hemisphere.

MESH Skills

MESH Helps was born from a dedicated effort to address the question, "How can we strengthen the skills kids need for their mental, emotional, and social health and build resilience through play?" This initiative began in collaboration with resilience expert Deborah Gilboa, M.D., and involved extensive research leading to the creation of the MESH Helps White Paper. Pennycake products were evaluated by FUNdamentally Children and received accreditation for each product's role in strengthening kids’ mental, emotional, and social health skills through intentional play.

National Parenting Product Awards

At NAPPA Awards their focus is family and their mission is simple — find and showcase the best toys, baby and family products. Becoming a parent is the most amazing journey and all parents want the very best for their kids. And most of all, parents want to have fun and connect with their kids. So, this is NAPPA. They open the packages, they put it together, they read, they test the products, they jam to kids music bands, they go out in the community, they bring the kids and moms in their office and they play. And their message to all the moms and dads…go and have fun with your kids. This is the BEST. TIME. EVER.
