The Parents' Choice Award was an award presented by the non-profit Parents' Choice Foundation to recognize "the very best products for children of different ages and backgrounds, and of varied skill and interest levels." [1] It was considered a "prestigious" award among children's products, [2] and had been described by the Cincinnati Enquirer as the industry equivalent of an Academy Award. [3] It ended in 2022. [4]

The Parents' Choice Awards were established in 1978 by Diana Huss Green, who was then the president of the Parents' Choice Foundation. [5] [6] The mission was to provide guidance to parents on children’s books and toys. [6] The award recipients were determined by a committee of educators, scientists, performing artists, librarians, parents and children. One of six award commendations were given to award winners: Classic, Gold, Silver, Recommended, Approved or "Fun Stuff." [1]
