With the summer season approaching, The Toy Association’s trends team is seeking toys for upcoming TV and editorial opportunities, as part of its year-round efforts to promote trends in the toy and play space.

Selected products may be featured in nationwide TV segments spotlighting screen-free boredom busters, water & outdoor toys, movie must-haves, and products inspired by cultural and sporting events, such as America250 and the 2026 World Cup. Products will also be featured in articles authored by The Toy Association team in international trade publications. Last year, more than 100 Toy Association members’ products were featured by the trends team across print, online, and broadcast media.

For more information or to submit products for consideration, contact Jennifer Lynch, trends specialist at The Toy Association. All products must be new for 2026.
