As the Easter holidays approach and the promise of warmer, sunnier days fills the air, parents and caregivers across the UK are looking for creative and engaging ways to keep little ones entertained, learning, and thriving. At Edx Education, we are passionate advocates for play-based learning, and sensory play is a fantastic way to help children develop essential skills while having endless fun.
