FORT LEE, New Jersey, December 4 /Christian Newswire/ -- The Giddy Gander Company's top Wumbler, Laura Wellington, has been nominated in the Top Entrepreneur category for the 2008 Wonder Women of Toys Awards. Created in 2003, Women in Toys together with Playthings Magazine, created The Wonder Women of Toys Awards to recognize those women who show innovation, dedication and have made outstanding contributions within the toy, entertainment and licensing industries.
Wellington's vision of creating a preschool television series that can help make the world a better place for ALL children to live and grow is once again being recognized and honored. A mother of four who wanted to bring MOMs' voices back into children's toys and entertainment, Laura Wellington's entrepreneurial spirit transformed a childhood hobby into a global stepping-stone for change.
"Teaching children basic ABC's and 123's is obviously important, but equally as important today is our need to nourish children with positive social lessons that reinforce and expand upon the "value" they see in themselves and others. Our world is a "global community" and using fun entertainment to mentor children to successfully meet that reality, individually and together, is what The Wumblers is all about!" states Wellington.
The Giddy Gander Company is excited to be part of this wonderful event and Wellington is exceedingly pleased to be in the company of such strong, successful and talented women who have been nominated beside her.
You can watch The Wumblers on Trinity Broadcasting Network, Saturday mornings at 5:30am PDT and 8:30am EDT, and on Smile of A Child, Monday, Wednesday, and Friday at 7:00am PDT and 10:00am EDT.
