Cobble Hill’s Create Your Own Puzzle with Pencil Crayons recently picked up a spring 2011 Tillywig Sterling Fun Award. Cobble Hill, which is a division of Victoria, BC’s well-known game and puzzle manufacturer, Outset Media, was one of 20 award winners and the only Canadian company to make the U.S. organization’s annual awards list.

The Cobble Hill-brand product includes two blank, pre-cutpuzzle boards and pencil crayons that allow kids, three and over, to create their own illustrated masterpieces. “The back of each puzzle board has a certificate circle for the artist’s name and age, making it a perfect memento that will give pleasure for years to come,” said Tillywig testers.

Tillywig, an Illinois-based organization, provides retail buyers, news media, parents, and consumers with product information and reviews of a variety of children’s products available in the North American marketplace. Reviews are based on product testing that looks at criteria, such as entertainment and/or educational value, clarity of instructions, durability, level of interaction, and how well the item promotes creativity, new ways of thinking and/or physical development.
