Summer holidays can be filled with sunshine, smiles, and let’s be honest a few cries of “I’m bored!” from children looking for something fun to do. At Edx Education, we know that play is not only joyful but essential for a child’s development. That’s why we love encouraging hands on, sensory rich experiences using versatile toys like sand and water trays.
At Edx Education, we believe that play isn’t just a way to pass the time it’s how children learn best.

That’s why we design open ended resources like our Sand & Water Trays, Multipurpose Trays, and a wide variety of sensory play tools to create supportive, stimulating environments for all children to thrive.
