Parsippany, N.J. (PRWEB) November 30, 2007 -- International Playthings Inc. (IPI) announces that its iPlay Diggity Dog board game has received a 2008 Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Lead-Free Platinum Award. The Oppenheim Toy Portfolio is a well-known and respected independent consumer organization that annually publishes a Platinum Award list naming the best toys of the year. This year, as an added safety measure, all products on the Platinum Award list were tested and determined to be lead-free by an independent lab.

"It is an honor to have the Diggity Dog board game recognized by the well-respected Oppenheim Toy Portfolio," said Cyndee Dalton, Senior Product Manager at International Playthings, Inc. "The iPlay line of toys and games comprises a spectrum of innovative and high-quality products that foster children's imaginations and developmental skills."

Diggity Dog is a memory board game for children aged three and up. The game is for two to four players and features an electronic dog that barks the number of spaces that players must move their puppies. When a player's puppy lands on a space beside a dog bone, the player picks up the bone with the dog's magnetic nose. If the color of the underside of the bone matches the player's puppy, the player gets to move the bone into their puppy's dog house. Diggity Dog is available through specialty retailers and online at www.intplay.com at a MSRP of $19.99.

Oppenheim Toy Portfolio is an independent consumer organization that tests and reviews children's products all year round, such as toys, books, music and computer programs. Products that receive a Platinum Toy Award are selected based on whether they are age appropriate, innovative, developmentally suitable and fun for children.
