SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
At Learning Resources, we recognize the importance of being a charitable corporate citizen and, to that end, regularly donate to national and local charities that serve our core audiences – children, parents, and teachers. Past charitable donations have helped national organizations including United Way, Play Your Part/The Toy Foundation, Donors Choose and Toys for Tots. Through these charities, our donations are able to reach the greatest number of children and teachers in need.
CODING & CRITICAL THINKING
Coding is often referred to as “the literacy of the 21st century,” and our screen-free coding toys introduce kids to this vital skill without the need for a computer or tablet. From sequential logic, critical thinking, and problem-solving, kids learn fundamental coding and STEM skills every time they play. Discover our collection of award-winning coding toys, including the 2019 Innovative Toy of the Year, Botley the Coding Robot, and Coding Critters, recognized by parenting media as one of the hottest toys of 2019.
EARLY LEARNING & PRESCHOOL
From building fine motor skills to introducing colors, shapes and numbers, our hands-on toys help toddlers and preschoolers get ready for life in the great big world. Whether they’re building coordination with our Parents’ Choice Award winner, Spike the Fine Motor Hedgehog, or exploring letters, shapes, and numbers with Snap-n-Learn sets, kids have fun while they sort, stack, count, and match their way to new skills.
