Shownotes

In this episode of Play, Learn & Create with Edx Education, Heather Welch explores the importance of teaching children how to think creatively, critically, and independently through the power of play. Drawing from our latest blogs, we unpack the three key types of thinking: convergent, divergent, and lateral, and how toys like Rainbow Pebbles®, Linking Cubes, and open-ended activities can help unlock your child’s problem-solving potential.

Whether you’re a parent, caregiver, or educator, tune in for practical strategies, playful prompts, and expert insights on building confident, curious thinkers—one play session at a time.
