"including, but not limited to"

"including, but not limited to"

My last question of the day:

In English, it is common to hear the phrase "including, but not limited to," such as in the following sentence:

"There were many prizes for the children to choose from, including, but not limited to, stuffed animals, colored pencils, and plastic jewelry."

How might one translate this expression into Spanish?

Is it as easy as ", incluyendo, pero no limitado a,"? It seems too literal/easy to be true to me, but I'm stumped.

Can anyone help me out?

Gracias =]

Okay I think I've come up with an answer. How does this sound to everyone: "incluyendo, entre otros aspectos,"? This seems to make the most sense to me... - AlyssaLTerry, Jul 19, 2012

Hubo muchos premios que pudieron elegir los ninos. Estos incluyeron, pero no se limitaron a, animales de peluche, lapices de colores y joyeria de plastico.

Perhaps "Incluso de, pero no limitado a...", avoiding the gerundio.
