As parents and caregivers, we all want our children to grow up happy, resilient, and confident. One of the most powerful tools at our disposal to help our children develop these qualities is play. Play is not just a way for children to pass the time it is a critical part of their learning and growth. At Edx Education, we advocate for play-based learning, not only through our innovative educational toys but also through our Play, Learn & Create podcast, which offers practical tips and insights for caregivers and educators alike.

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.

We’re always on the lookout for engaging ways to support our children’s development. At Edx Education, we believe in the power of play-based learning to foster curiosity and build foundational skills. One of our favourite tools for encouraging this kind of learning is pentominoes.
