The results of the eleventh annual Rainbow Toy Awards have been revealed, first announced at a ceremony live online at www.rainbowawards.co.uk today at 10.00 am.
The entries were received at the Rainbow Toy Awards HQ and each one was scrutinised by the team of tiny toy testers. Each tester is the child themselves and they give their feedback to the parent or carer to report back by form.
The toys are ranked one to 10 for play value, longevity, packaging, build quality, value for money and then they offer their overall impression – offering for each a valuable comment alongside the score.
The winners of the 11th annual Rainbow Toy Awards Ceremony are:
The 2019 Overall ‘Rainbow Toy Awards’ Champion is the Mars Space Station by Playmobil.
