Raise your hand if you have ever been embarrassed by your child’s behavior upon receiving a gift. This was me when one of my daughters turned six. Ugh. I cringe thinking about it. My sweet, kind, little girl turned into a demanding, greedy gremlin. Okay, maybe a little too harsh, but seriously. We were surrounded by her grandma, uncle, and a couple of neighbor families who all came by to wish her a happy birthday and bring her a gift. When she was given the first gift she tore into it with vigor, but she had no more than seen...

Shared materials are a thing of the past this school year so we've been getting creative with ways to make individual learning resources with our products.

Pixel Bricks were pretty new to us this year but it's been so much fun watching as our kids explore them and express their creativity using them.

Wherever learning will happen, we will continue to value the importance of hands on learning, especially for literacy and numeracy.
