Edx Education are passionate about the ‘learning through play’ movement, which has long been recognised as a highly successful method of teaching in early years education both in the classroom and at home. It is fun and engaging, but is also a tactile and visual form of learning which aids concentration, helps develop fine motor skills and supports early mathematical understanding, such as counting and sorting techniques.

The Edx Education extensive product range aims to support parents and educators in all aspects of play-based learning, and includes maths manipulatives, early childhood active play, and art & craft accessories.

Numerous studies have shown that children who have been taught through play-based learning have a more positive attitude to learning, a wider vocabulary and advanced problem solving, lateral thinking and analytical skills compared to children who have been taught in traditional direct-instruction approaches.
