There are toy store that “have it all” and there are you stores that hand select only the best in toy brands. If you are like me and prefer quality over quantity, then you will want to head over to Brilliant Sky Toys & Books. While they have over 10,000 items in their product list, only 12 have made it to their Brilliance Awards. The Brilliance Awards winners have all been tried and tested from Brilliant Sky Toys & Books to bring you high quality toys that don’t need to be plugged in this holiday season. I love that- for one, my daughters seem to be gravitating towards screens lately. From iPads to the tv, then on to the DS, I have to cut them off to only an hour total on all their devices a day. When I force them to pick up toys and play with each other, something amazing happens- they use their imagination. They create scenarios and scenes and help each other out. I know this type of play won’t last forever, so I’m trying to bottle it all up in photos and videos and hope they are making memories from these experiences.

This year, Brilliant Sky has weeded through over 10,000 toys to bring you only the best this holiday season. Whether you are shopping for your own child, a grandchild, nieces and nephews, or a friend, check out the top 12 toys that won the Brilliance Award by visiting Brilliant Sky Toys & Books.

We received two products from this list and I can see why they made it to the top. The Tree House is a sturdy wood construction with a surprise around every corner. This is a toy that will grow with your child and will provide hours of enjoyment.

Since my oldest is quite the crafter, the painting bowls are perfect for her. She’s great with arts and crafts and loves using her own creations, so when I told her she would be able to eat out of the bowl once it was painted and baked to harden, she was ecstatic. I will share pictures of her creations on Instagram when we start this project, so be sure to follow atimeout4mommy on Instagram!
