Götz Earns Preferred Choice Award From Creative Child Magazine

Parsippany, NJ (August 10, 2007) – Götz’s Blonde Cookie Girl (Cookie) has been presented with the coveted 2007 Preferred Choice Award by Creative Child magazine in the Dolls for Girls category. Creative Child’s Preferred Choice Award is reserved for safe, durable and well-designed play products that nurture creativity and social responsibility – toys that offer a child something “extra” for optimal learning, play and fun.

“We are thrilled that Creative Child has selected Cookie as a top product to help cultivate children’s creativity and imagination,” said Susan Tice, Senior Product Manager and Public Relations Director for International Playthings, Inc. “For over 50 years Götz has been committed to creating beautiful, high-quality dolls and it is truly gratifying to have a respected publication like Creative Child recognize Cookie for those specific qualities.”

Götz’s Cookie is a 19-inch, soft bodied baby doll with sleep eyes and rooted hair that looks and feels like real hair and can even be shampooed, blow-dried and styled. The adorable blonde doll wears jeans with a pink ribbon trim and a flower print tunic. The doll, which is machine washable, retails for $60.00.


Götz is one of four lines of products distributed by IPI to earn top honors from Creative Child magazine this year. Also included are the Barnyard Blast, Knights Castle, and Fantastic Fairytales by iPlay, Baby Rocking Horse by Earlyears, and Marine Special Forces Unit, Town Flower Shop, and Mac the Recon Ranger by Mighty World.
