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—

Sensory play is an essential component of early childhood development, offering children opportunities to engage their senses, enhance motor skills, and explore the world around them. At Edx Education, we believe in the power of play to foster creativity and learning. Here are ten engaging sand and water activities that are perfect for both home and classroom settings, using Edx Education toys to enhance the experience.

As summer brings sunny weather to the UK, it's the perfect time to explore the benefits of sensory play with Edx Education's sand and water ranges. Sensory play, a vital part of early childhood development, engages children’s senses, promotes creativity, and enhances learning through hands-on experiences. With the Edx Education sand and water play sets, both educators and parents can create enriching environments that foster exploration and growth.

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.
