REDONDO BEACH, Calif. -- b. dazzle, inc. of Redondo Beach, California, has announced that the National Parenting Publications Awards (NAPPA), a program sponsored by Dominion Media and promoted in association with parenting publishers across the United States, has named six Scramble Squares[R] 9-piece brain teaser puzzles as 2007 NAPPA HONOR AWARD winners: Noah's Ark, Pirates, Planets, Puffins, Swimming Champions and Teachers.

Full NAPPA AWARDS results will be announced Nov. 1, 2007, in 40 regional parenting magazines across the country and online at Parenthood.com. This distinction recognizes Scramble Squares[R] 9-piece puzzles as a standout among toys, books, DVDs, software & video games, music and spoken-word recordings available for children today.

Now in its 17th year, NAPPA is a well-known name in industries that are focused on children's learning and entertainment. Parents, relatives and other adults working with children--those who want high-quality toys and products that provide "smart fun" and good design, and grow with children's developmental needs--rely on NAPPA for their holiday and year-round gift-giving.

"NAPPA-winning products meet the most stringent criteria and are judged by nationally recognized industry experts, educators, reviewers and advocates in their fields," says NAPPA Manager Barbara Smith Decker. "NAPPA has set the industry standard of excellence for nearly two decades and the award is a much-sought honor by manufacturers, artists, authors and product designers. When parents see the NAPPA Gold or Honors seal on winning products, they're assured of a high quality, fun and educational experience for their children." Ellen Metrick, lead judge for the NAPPA Toy & Games category in which Scramble Squares[R] puzzles won six Honors awards this year, has more than 20 years' experience in the toy industry. As the toy specialist and manager of business development for the National Lekotek Center, a nonprofit organization that focuses on accessible play for children of all abilities, Metrick helps manufacturers develop and evaluate high-quality toys. In evaluating the six Scramble Squares[R] NAPPA Honors winners for 2007, Metrick wrote, "Match the pictures along the edges of nine individual squares in each direction to complete a tabletop puzzle. Starting with a winning concept, new themes added to this collection include Pirates, Planets, Puffins, Swimming Champions, Teachers and Noah's Ark (each sold separately). All puzzles are equally beautiful, equally challenging and equally deserving of an honor award."
