Greatest Toy Show On Earth in Spring Is TTPM
TTPM stands for TOYS, TOTS, PETS and MORE
The best of the best in toy categories are shown, tested, discussed and popularized for the upcoming Summer
There are two huge seasons when it comes to TOYS – Spring and Fall. Spring is a showcase for the toys and games that our children will be preoccupied all Summer long, gearing activities to the creative and constructive time with their favorites.
Fall showcasing of toys is the time to prepare for a huge Holiday Season that includes the favorites from the entire season and some surprises from new toy collections.
At the end of April, we had an opportunity to visit and talk to the brands, companies and even the toy creators at the TTPM showcase in New York.
Jim Silver, the founder of Toys, Tots, Pets and More (TTPM) is one of the leaders in the toy industry who tests all the toys in his office – with the help of his amazing crew members – and then recommends those toys and games that fit certain specifications like multiple usage, variability and price point. Parents do care about the quality, and they do care about the price point for toys, too.
FYI: Jim is one of the Mentors on the newest ABC show THE TOY BOX. Together with his colleagues in the toy industry Jan Tan of PIXAR and Dylan Lauren of Dylan’s Candy Bar, is on a seasonal journey for a toy that would be chosen for a mass distribution by MATTEL.
Check out the show itself and watch it every Friday for 8 weeks. May 5th is the third week of the THE TOY BOX on ABC. Things are happening quickly and in a fun, funny and sad way. Very good show to watch with the entire family. Kids, you guess who’s going to be the finalist for the sweetest deal of the toy year!
Here’s my very quick list to start a conversation about the TTPM Spring Show. I will be updating this post with new toys and games every day – come back and check out what we’ve uncovered and discovered for your children to be preoccupied this Summer.
A ton of amazingly innovative and educational toys and games that truly touched my heart. I have not seen such a collection of toys that can teach, develop and grow compassionate individuals out of our beautiful kids. Let’s march on to the TTPM Showcase!
The Fairy Garden
A beautiful way to allow kids to arrange, plan and plant for a real garden with their own fairies and characters. What a way to inspire that green thumb within each and every one of us! This developmental toy creates interaction while educating a child about real plant cycle and care they need to receive to flourish.
Butterfly Garden
This play set is all about butterflies. Your child can set up a butterfly house and see butterfly transformation – metamorphosis – from day one to day when a gorgeous creature will spread out her wings and fly. Yes, Spring and Summer are the time to do it.
In the time when the butterfly population has decreased to the numbers that threaten our civilization – there’s no exaggeration in that! – we must and should and need to educate our children about the ways that we all can be saved by doing simple, natural for us, actions. Butterfly Garden teaches and nurtures the compassion while educating about the process the butterflies need to go through to become the “magical” part of our lives and Planet Earth.
LEGO Sets Are So Fascinating!
Develop imagination and small motor skill in children to set them up for great success in their own imagineering of life, concepts. These sets are super robust in building 3D skill and capacity in the child’s developing brain.
Awesome #TTPM LEGO sets! Imaginative play in action. #takeyourchildtoworkday @ttpm #HeartThis pic.twitter.com/jHW8eoPcAO

Wonder Crew Toys for Boys & Girls
So many dolls for girls, yet boys have been left out from this category. Wonder Crew dolls came to the rescue! Designed to inspire boys to play with their hero-dolls, this toy will make a solid step into our marketing to boys. But the girls are already in love with these toys, too! Crafted to build self-esteem and cooperation, Wonder Crew boys are here to stay and unite our playful kids.
Hatchimals Colleggtibles
These cute Hatchimals creatures are something magical. They keep you in suspence and allow a child to apply some social skills and companionship before anything comes out of an egg. It is not that easy open-and-enjoy type of toy. It teaches love and compassion, and that it takes time, effort and knowledge to hatch a cute Hatchimals companion. Truly enjoy this series that comes in different sizes and colors and character collectibles.
FlipaZoo Is A Toy That Flips for You!
I find these FlipaZoo toys not only entertaining, but also educational. Playing with the toy like this one builds a sense of wonder, 3D imagination, creative thought and possibilities into a game. Another strong point for this toy is that it can be tied to a STORY. YES, a story that can change every time you play with it.
A spoken language is a strong indication how a child develops and grows and detects truth and different sides of life. I would highly recommend these toys to any child, especially to those who have some difficulties to integrate with other children, have some developmental barriers that keep them back from expressing fully.
FlipaZoo toys are of many kinds: dolls and animals, and mini little things – mineez – that can be taken with on a road trip or just carried in the pocket. They come in colorful and very appealing to a child textures.

DC Comics Super Hero Girls
These toys in such a great variety of colors and sizes. There are the mineez that our kids would love to keep in their pockets to take with them on the road. A very powerful tool to get that extra “yes” to everything a child can do!
DC Comics Wonder Woman
It’s not just a Wonder Woman, it’s all her accessories she comes with: horses, action bow, cool attire collection. This action figure demonstrates to our girls the power of being of high self-esteem and compassionate at the same time. Being able to change the world in a constructive way is what we need to aspire for. With the movie coming out, this toy will gain popularity and demand for sure. Again, this toy is heavily driven by a STORY a child can create while playing with this toy.
CARS 3 Toys Are A Huge Hit
Different companies jumped on the wagon to offer CARS 3 characters this summer. You Will see a huge variety of them. Some of my favorites from the TTPM Spring Show are Mack’s Mobile Tool Center by Just Play and CARS 3 Die-Cast Vehicles by Mattel.
The collection of die-cast cars is so huge, you will need to be patient with your child when in store shopping: hard to choose from all that will be on display on the shelves!
Fast & Furious Cars & Figures
With the movie sweeping the entire world with its dominating magic of car racing, all the toys from Fast & Furious are set to become collectibles and amazing play-buddies. So well-done, die-cast cars have details and colors of those real ones in the movie.
Activate Your Body, Mind & Imagination
I love the toys and games that allow to engage a child physically and mentally. These are my favorites from the show: The AryaBall by THE TOY BOX inventor and competitor Babak, Bean Bag Bucketz, and Disk Jock-e. Both have the elements of fun while truly exercising the body and mind.
The AryaBall
Check the AryaBall in our first coverage of THE TOY BOX. Truly amazing invention!
@TheAryaBall @ttpm Rick @TheAryaBall Would Love the Demo of your AryaBall! #HeartThis #TheToyBox @ABCNetwork #Cars3Event @DisneyPixar pic.twitter.com/bJtp25GjTf

Bean Bag Bucketz
One of my favorites! You can take this game with you to the park, camping site or even travel via air. All packed in a nifty back and provides hours of fun and laughter while developing skills and moving our bodies around.
One more way 2 get your family 2gether & active w/ @BeanBagBucketz #TTPM #HeartThis @ttpm pic.twitter.com/ln0iRzHGPi

Amazing Disk Jock-e
This activity will drive you crazy from fun! Each disk can be connected to a music source like iPad, iPhone, computer. And you can listen and play to the music beat of your life while exercising all your muscles. To me, it is the ultimate toy for the summer!
The parts are waterproof, and you can play in the water or under the rain.

SMURFS Come In All Shapes And Sizes!
Jakks Pacific company has presented a huge collection of SMURFS at TTPM. From talking plushes to mineez in surprise packages, to Smurfs Mushroom House playsets, to 8-inch Bean Bag Plush. Wow, what a huge variety to those who adore Smurfs! It will take you a while to sort through all the toys that are available in this Smurfs family.
Shimmer and Shine
Shimmer and Shine collection of toys is as rich and attractive as the Smurfs! Fisher-Price has done a marvelous job by creating different categories of play and usage for these two friends. They are available in assortments and in playsets, mineez and Mega Bloks, and drawing-coloring sets. The collection is HUGE! Time for your kiddo to choose what it will be on her wish playlist.
Despicable Me 3
There’s so much going on with the Despicable Me 3 theme in toys, it is hard to decide where to begin.
Some of my favorites in this toy category are the mineez and LEGO sets. Both promote small motor skills that are critical to wiring a child’s brain to solve, imagine, and verbalize. I love any toy that has a “STORY” in it. When playing with a toy, a child imagines a story and plays it out. The scenarios are infinite. The results are powerful. Children who play with the “stories” grow into creative adults who are compassionate, empowered by social and connection skills. These are toys that can be reused and played again and again with – enriching a child’s mind and social experiences through the play mode.
I absolutely vote for that type of toys.

LMAO! You totally caught me with my mouth open at the Flipzee booth! (behind the rep in a white shirt) Was not expecting that, but I agree. My daughter was so excited to convert her from nursery baby to big girl. We can’t wait to get ours!
Shirley,
Hi! That is awesome! When I was taking the picture, I was all focused on the center image. You should have said Hello!
I love this shot!

Wow! All kinds of unique toys coming! I love the butterfly garden!
Jim is awesome on TTPM youtube videos but just doesn’t come off as his charismatic self on the Toy Box tv show. I was excited to see him get a network television gig but have found the show disappointing. TTPM is a great source for toy reviews!
I had no idea such a thing existed. My goodness .. when my kids were little this would have been a little bit of heaven! I can’t believe how cool the super hero women action figures are. I’m thinking about getting a Wonder Woman for myself .. to remind me just how powerful I truly am
This is AWESOME! I am still a big kid and LOVE toys and of course, I am a pet lover. I wish I could go to this event!
Wow so many awesome toys! I love the DC Comics Superhero girls!
How cool is that?! I love everything here. The Wonder Girls are the most amazing of the bunch, in my opinion.
