It can increase children’s self-awareness and self-respect; deepen their confidence; build resilience to new and novel situations; and promote both independence and social skills. Play is much more than just fun—it’s vital! As play enthusiasts and champions of curiosity, we’re very proud of our fun-fueled lines, each created to encourage many different types of play and out-ofthe-box learning.

Not only does this toy provide endless opportunities for fun and creativity, but for my 4-year-old, who has fine motor delays, this was an excellent play piece that also supports his fine motor capacities. Once my kids are done designing for the day, they then use it as a nightlight!” – Jaime Darling, EI Customer
