The Hello Kitty Light-Up Message Board wins National Parenting Center Holiday 2010 Seal of Approval program. The product reviewed by program testers was evaluated on multiple criteria including its level of desirability, sturdiness, and interactive stimulation. Test results are based on both statistical averaging and comments received from the parent testers.

Made by Sakar International, the Hello Kitty Light-Up Message Board (MSRP $14.99) allows users to write fluorescent-style messages to call attention to their plans, news or needs. The board can hang on a wall or mount magnetically to metal surfaces like lockers and refrigerators. Messages are written with a special marker included in the package, and can either flash or glow. Testers praised the board for: Pairing the iconic Hello Kitty brand with a place to post important notices; Encouraging children to write thoughts and ideas; Doubling as a drawing board.
