How we tested toys

Our associates at Good Housekeeping magazine have been testing products for more than a century, just like we have. And they take toy evaluations seriously, making sure that the top games and devices hold to ASTM (American Society for Testing) standards, and then sending the most promising ones out to the most relevant testers: children. We partnered with the Good Housekeeping Institute for this section, combining some of their test results with our own evaluations to bring you this authoritative list of STEM and builder toys and entertaining games for your little tinkerer or future programmer.
