MESH Accreditation Framework
Products age graded 3+ are evaluated using the MESH Accreditation Framework to assess whether or not your toy or game meets the 3 criteria of Mental, Emotional, and Social Health (MESH):
Basic Assessment Criteria
This criteria establishes whether your toy or game is compliant with safety standards, ready-to-use, and does not promote violent or explicit content. Product must pass all 3 criteria to move on with the assessment for kids ages 3+.
MESH Skills
To earn MESH Accreditation, your toy or game must intentionally help children develop 2 or more MESH Skills to support the multidisciplinary approach that is core to building resilience.
