In our quest to provide children with knowledge and experiences, a fundamental question arises: Are we effectively teaching them how to think? Beyond simply imparting information, it is essential to guide children in developing the ability to analyse problems and seek solutions independently. While our education system often emphasises the importance of following established processes to solve problems—a key component of learning—

Recognising this need, Edx Education® has introduced the Busy Play® range – a collection of educational toys designed to make learning fun, interactive, and accessible. Packed neatly in reusable and environmentally friendly cardboard boxes, these toys are perfect for on-the-go learning and play.

Who knows what the power of play really is? From the moment they are born, children engage in play, evolving dramatically in their approach and complexity over their first five years. Notable 20th-century psychologists, Mildred Parten and Jean Piaget, have profoundly influenced our understanding of play and its critical role in a child's development, particularly in emotional regulation.

The Role of Open-Ended Play Open-ended play is play that doesn’t have a predetermined outcome or set of rules, allowing children to explore and create freely. This type of play is invaluable in early childhood development, as it encourages creativity, imagination, and problem-solving skills. Edx Education toys are designed to promote open-ended play, offering endless possibilities for exploration and learning.
