Sassy Toy Awards

Award Winning Toys

Since the launch of the original Sassy developmental toy line in 1996, Sassy products have excelled in the juvenile products industry. Sassy’s unique approach focused on stimulating four specific developmental areas during baby’s first year of life.  This approach, along with insightful designs, bright colors, and superior quality stood out in the infant toy category and the toys became a fast favorite with parents, babies and toy reviewers. 

Sassy products, past and current, have received countless awards, honors and recognition for their outstanding features, developmental appropriateness, and educational value.  Sassy's current product line includes several extraordinary award-winners.
