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.

At Edx Education, we understand that early childhood is a critical period for laying the foundation for future learning and success. That’s why we advocate for play-based learning through our range of STEAM toys, designed to foster six core skills that are essential for young children’s development.

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.
