Play is the way children learn best. From seeing a baby’s delight when grasping a toy for the first time, to helping a toddler reach new milestones, to watching the wonder of a preschooler’s imagination, it’s easy to see how significant play is for a child’s development. Understanding that importance and how hands-on play builds a child’s skills was the spark that gave us our start more than 80 years ago, and it continues to be our guiding light as we work to enrich the lives of young families around the world.
