Across the UK, early childhood education is experiencing a wave of new trends that aim to make learning more engaging, inclusive, and beneficial for every child. At Edx Education, we’re passionate about supporting these trends with our educational toys, downloadable resources, and the “Play, Learn & Create with Edx Education” podcast. By harnessing the power of play, we help caregivers and parents foster children’s love for learning, building resilience and creativity along the way.

The best opportunities for our children to learn and grow, particularly during those crucial early years. Between the ages of 0-6, children are in a unique stage of development where they are absorbing everything around them. It’s during this time that introducing essential skills, like maths, numbers, letters, and reading, can lay the foundation for lifelong learning. But how do we do that in a way that keeps them engaged, happy, and inspired? The answer lies in play-based learning.

As parents and caregivers, we often seek the best ways to nurture our children’s growth and development. One of the most effective methods is through play, especially with open-ended toys that inspire creativity and imagination. At Edx Education, we firmly believe that fostering a love for learning starts with the right play experiences. Today, we’ll explore the benefits of creative play using some of our favourite open-ended toys: the Rainbow Pebbles® art set, the MyGears® range, and our versatile Linking and Math Cubes sets.
