Spark Your Imagination Ventures Inc. is excited to announce that its mom-made in Canada Spark Story Starters has been awarded the Parent Tested Parent Approved Winner’s Seal of Approval. PTPA Media has North America’s largest volunteer parent testing community, with over 40,000 parents.

Spark Your Imagination was among many entries from across North America competing to earn the PTPA™ Seal. Because independent parent volunteers evaluate these products in their own homes, PTPA winners are chosen based on merit and consumer experience – not on commercial considerations.

“Spark Story Starters were born at our family dinner table as a way to engage our kids, so there could be no better accolades for what we have created than one from families and kids”, says Spark Your Imagination founder Tamara Vukusic. “And, our four and five year-old boys helped create the questions.” Co-owner Erin Brule adds, “Kids love Spark Story Starters because they are all about good, silly fun and there are no right or wrong answers. Parents love them because they encourage imaginative, family-inclusive story-telling – a welcome break from digital games!”

• What would your best temper tantrum look like? Who would get to see it?
• I just gave you a pet dragon. Where will it sleep in your house? How could you sneak it to school? What will you name it?

“At PTPA Media, we are proud to play a role in certifying innovative products that families can trust,” says Sharon Vinderine, CEO and founder of PTPA Media Inc. “When consumers search for our Seal of Approval on product packaging and web sites, they are essentially searching for validation from their peers. Their peers will have objectively tested and approved these products based on their performance in a real life environment. That type of resource for families is priceless.”
