Explorations Early Learning, LLC is dedicated to providing quality materials that support child-directed play and learning. The learning materials in our store are meant to promote play-based learning.
Young children are very "hands-on"--they like to experience the world firsthand with all their senses and discovery things for themselves.
Our toys are intended to promote this kind of exploration. While playing with these items, children:
Develop and refine small and large muscle skillsWiden their understanding of how the physical world worksBuild cognitive skills that are the foundation of reading, writing, and mathRefine social skillsStrengthen their imaginations and ability to think creativelyLearn to solve problems
Our toys are designed to be simple and unobtrusive. Play is in the child, not in the toy. We want to encourage child-driven play. We want them to be thinking and moving, not sitting passively watching brightly colored plastic toys shimmy, shake, rattle, sing, and dance. Our toys are so simple, you could probably make them yourself if you want to invest the time and energy.
Our toys are not painted because paint chips and flakes. Our toys are not covered with images of cartoon and video game characters because those images get in the way of real play. Our toys are not mass produced in another country because we believe making them here in the USA is the right thing to do.
