Award winners like Emotional Baggage were selected for their gender-neutral design, affordability, and practical benefits. It's an award-winning plush toy set that features eight emotions - happy, sad, angry, surprised, silly, anxious, loved, and tired. The plush toys are in a soft canvas bag providing a hands-on approach to learn about emotions while also supporting sensory processing activities.
Courtney and Daniel founded Solobo Toys out of personal necessity and passion. Faced with limited toy options for their oldest son, who surpassed "typical" developmental milestones, and their younger son's complex medical needs, the couple began creating toys to better suit their children. What started as a small side project became a full-time mission to support diverse developmental needs through play.
"We're honored to receive the Parents 2024 Best Toy Award. This recognition validates our commitment to creating meaningful toys that help children better understand their emotions and build empathy," said co-founder Courtney Peebles. "Emotional Baggage is more than a toy; it's a tool for emotional growth."
Solobo Toys ensures that each product is creative, allowing children to have fun while gaining educational benefits. With the company having a base around Montessori principles, crafting products that inspire children to explore, discover, and learn through play was a must when designing their Company. Solobo Toys aims to ensure that all children, regardless of their developmental stage, can enjoy inclusive play experiences.
"Receiving the Parents 2024 Best Toy Award for Emotional Baggage is not just a win for us but a celebration for every family looking for meaningful ways to connect and grow together. This recognition for our passion fuels us to continue to spread joy and foster emotional well-being for children everywhere," says co-founder Daniel Peebles.
