Brilliant Sky Toys and Books Store Announces 2013 Brilliance Award Winners

October 29, 2013 by Nicole

Discover, experience, explore, interact, and enjoy. That’s the Brilliant Sky way, and it’s the way to play.

If you live near a Brilliant Sky Toys and Books store, you are lucky! It’s my favorite type of local toy store – you know, the kind that invites the kids to explore and interact with the toys.

Grown-ups are sure to pick the perfect toy from this list of a dozen fabulous items.

I thought the Brilliance Award Winners list was, well, brilliant! The toys are all reasonably priced from as low as $12.99 to $84.99.

Janod World Map Puzzle

My family was invited to select a Brilliance Award Winner to bring home and we chose the World Map Puzzle by Janod. Although it is recommended for ages 7 and up, even my 4-year-old was very interested in this puzzle from the get-go. This magnetic, colorful world map teaches continents, countries and animals. My three oldest children (4, 6 and 9 years old) and I have spent hours figuring out where each magnetic puzzle piece country goes on the map. Once we are finished, they are ready to take them off and do it again.

This is one of the most interactive and fun ways to learn world geography. I like how the puzzle pieces are illustrated to show what kinds of things are found there (like Giraffes in Africa and the Taj Mahal in India). The Janod puzzle can easily be hung on a home or classroom wall. It measures 30.3 inches by 18.1 inches. We are very happy with this selection.
