RICHMOND HILL, ON, /CNW/ – As the Working and Learning Company, Staples Canada is all about fostering a love of learning, especially when it comes to young minds. That’s why Staples is introducing Kids Learn + Play, a curated collection of tools and toys to enhance play-based learning and foster kids’ growth, development and fuel a love of learning inside and outside of the classroom. Discover at Staples.ca or at select stores.
“Parents have told us they want access to helpful resources to set up a successful learning journey for their child,” said Rachel Huckle, President and Chief Operating Officer, Staples Canada. “Staples Kids Learn + Play is about giving children the opportunity to embrace curiosity, explore their passions and ultimately – foster a love for learning in every form.”
Staples Kids Learn + Play is centered around play-based learning: the process of learning by doing. When kids perform hands-on activities, they actively participate in the learning process and develop key skills such as cognitive, fine motor, sensory, discovery and exploration. Play-based learning fosters their growth, development and helps set them up for success.
The Staples Kids Learn + Play assortment is divided into four key categories based on enhancing specific skill sets in children:
- Cognitive: Lets kids explore products that promote brain-based core skills to help build perception, attention, memory, learning, decision making and language abilities. Key products include: Mattel Games Blokus Family Fun Game, THINK FUN – Zingo! and Klutz LEGO Chain Reactions.
- Fine Motor: Includes activities in which you use the small muscles in your hands and wrists to make precise movements to help strengthen your fine motor skills. Key products include: LEGO City Fire Helicopter Building Kit, Crayola Amazing Art Case and Geomag 377 Supercolor Panels Recycled.
- Sensory: Discover products made to enhance hearing, touch, smell, taste and help foster imagination, and increase learning retention. Key products include: Kinetic Sand Sandisfactory Set, Play-Doh Texture Variety Scented and Elmer’s Celebration Slime Kit.
- Discovery & Exploration: A suite of products geared towards enhancing your science and engineering skills to help your child build curiosity, idea evaluation and problem solving. Key products include: Crayola Paper Flower Science Kit, National Geographic Crystal Garden Growing Kit and CIC Kits Hydraulic Cyborg Hand.
