Hey There!

I WANT TO HELP YOU TAKE THE PUZZLE OUT OF PLAY

I’m a toy expert with over ten years of toy experience. My talent for thinking about the two sides of every toy has resulted in over 100 television segments, 300 guest articles and numerous press quotes. I also have 25 years of professional practice as a lawyer and business professional in both the private and public sectors. All this experience is elevated with the fact that I’m a Mom to two children with an expertise in child development and health. I live a life of toys and I want to help you learn to play personally or professionally!

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Charlene is Creative!
She has a way of seeing toys beyond what they are marketed to do. She has such great ideas on how toys can be played with—and parents love what she shares.
Cindy
Charlene is toy talent
There are toy bloggers; then there’s Charlene. One day she is on TV or putting on a toy event. Another day she quoted in an article with her play tips. She is genuinely toy talented.
Janet
trifecta of toys!
She has 25 years of professional experience – and is a Mom, toy blogger, and published author. Where else do you find such talent outside of a toy company!
Chris
She’s a solution seeker
I see how Charlene’s experience in startup companies translates to toys. She has a gift for understanding all the aspects of play, toys, and development.
