Griddly Games Readies Help for Home (school)

It wasn’t the company’s full intention during the development of children’s products over the last decade, but Griddly Games is oddly well-prepared with a line of kits and games that can help with remote learning and homeschooling.

“Who knew conditions like this would happen? But we’ve found that we can be a resource to help parents and teachers,” Reisa Schwartzman, President of Griddly Games, explained. “While our goal has always been for every kid to discover that learning can be as enjoyable as play, we didn’t realize that we could assist in an edu-tainment in such a major way. Our products are designed to get kids excited about discovering something new, by transforming playtime into an unforgettable, fun learning experience of exploration.”

One key component from Griddly’s product line is that each and every product is a self-sufficient, fully-equipped activity.  While the Just Add kits do need the “added” ingredient, Milk, Egg, Sugar, Baking Soda, Fruits & Veggies, Glue or Sun, or easy household items, all of the other necessary tools and materials are included. Each kit offers 8-20 different experiments that are easily set-up, conducted and cleaned up by a responsible, age-appropriate user. “Parents can be assured that a child of the recommended age, can handle these projects with little supervision,” Schwartzman said.

The Griddly Games kits provide many different activities and lessons about:

• •  chemical reactions
