Marcel should be Toddler of the Year because his smile lights up any room. He has the kindest heart and keeps us laughing all day!
We would like to thank you for supporting Marcel in this year's competition. Your participation helps us support Toys for Tots in their mission to bring joy and hope to children during the holiday season.
We're celebrating the power of play, creativity, and imagination through beloved brands families know and love.
Marcel is a whirlwind of creativity, curiosity, and heart. He’s always dreaming up stories, making art, and asking big questions. But what really stands out is his empathy...he’s the first to comfort a sad friend and always makes sure everyone feels included. His kindness, silly jokes, and giant “I love yous” fill every day with joy.
What are Marcel's favorite activities?Marcel loves making art, telling stories, and finding any excuse to play in water. Puddles, pool, the bath... he’s not picky. He’s always creating something, whether it’s a colorful painting or an elaborate tale about talking animals. Give him a paintbrush, a silly idea, or a splash zone and he’s in his element.
How would $25,000 impact your family?It would give us the freedom to take a dream trip we’ve talked about for years.... a three-month adventure exploring new cultures, languages, and ways of life as a family. We want to show Marcel the world beyond his backyard, spark his curiosity, and create memories that shape who he becomes.
