Interactive toys that encourage give and take from kids are great educational products, and educational toys that teach concepts of science and math build skills that will serve as a child's foundation for later learning. Our educational toys are designed to sharpen emerging senses and skills and encourage young children to further develop their curiosity about the world around them. We have a great selection of educational construction toys with everything from soft building blocks that are as fun to hold as they are to stack to puzzles that are perfectly sized for little hands to easily manipulate.

Social and intellectual skills are refined through board, electronic, and card games. Board games give children a chance to practice turn taking, communication, and socialization skills. They are also great for the whole family to play together. By modifying the rules of the game, such as taking off time limits, enlarging pieces or having partners, toys and games can be made less frustrating for a child with a shorter attention span or motor difficulties.

Communication skills can be expanded through play. For children with language delays, repetition is a plus. Look for books that have repetitive phrases or toys that continually repeat concepts and directions. Electronic toys feature lots of lights, sounds, and music and are usually a good choice for teaching cause and effect.

The Kaplan story began in 1951 when Leon and Renee Kaplan (Mr. and Mrs. K) opened a toy store in Greensboro, North Carolina. They expanded the business in 1952 by opening a second store in Winston Salem, North Carolina and then multiple locations in late 1950 and early 1960. In 1968, Kaplan School Supply was founded which affirmed their commitment to children by introducing toys that teach.

The company has continued to be a strong leader in the field of early care and education. We know that children are our future and we provide products that enhance creativity, explore learning, and encourage independence. For over 35 years the Kaplan name has been synonymous with children and providing products that promote learning while playing.
