Creative Child Magazine is a bimonthly publication that delivers the latest information on how to nurture children's creativity. Award winners were judged and recognized for their excellence in promoting creativity in play. Spectrum Magazine, also a bimonthly publication, says of the Activity book: "it's great for teaching children to color, staying within the lines, and using different colors in one picture. It is very innovative." Michael A. Feinstein, M.D., Chairman and CEO of Nocopi noted that "These awards are certainly an honor, and we are very pleased to be recognized by Creative Child Magazine and Spectrum Magazine. We are very excited by the attention this new and unique product is receiving". The Rub-it and Color Activity book, an interactive product, was launched at the American International Toy Fair in New York City.

Fifteen hundred (1500) manufacturers, distributors, importers, and sales agents from 30 countries showcased their products which included books, action figures, games, puzzles, and much more. "These Activity Books bring a rainbow of colors to life without using crayons, coloring pencils or markers. Colors magically appear before your eyes, simply by rubbing/scratching the Rub-it and Color paper. Colors do not stick to your fingers, and they meet the safety requirements of ASTM-F963 and Non-toxic labeling", stated Dr. Feinstein.
