Things to do with children over the summer holidaysMake summer holidays fun by giving your little ones a moment to pause and enjoy reading that never feels like extra homework. Although those school book bags are a regular part of the week, there is something truly joyous about taking time out to read an adventurous and intriguing story that keeps children learning.  Engaging with magazines is another fantastic way to spark curiosity; the Green Bean Collection offers a wonderful range for early readers, featuring magazines specially crafted for young children who love short stories and comic-strip adventures. Packed with crafts, stickers, and exciting tales, they help children catch up with their favourite characters, like Green Bean and Mr Bear, while practising early years development skills without any pressure or stress. With some magazines even featuring free gifts, it's the perfect time to head over to the Green Bean Collection this summer and discover a continuous learning resource. We have a wide variety on offer, from our outdoor range and eco toys to boxes and magazines, all designed to keep the spirit of adventure alive. We look forward to hearing about the wonderful items you choose from our store to make your summer memories even more special!

Gather the family around the table and let the adventures begin!
Multi-award-winning Sensory ToysWhen it comes to our little ones under five, we all want toys that are more than just "things"—we want companions that are soft, squidgy, and wholesome. Our multi-award-winning sensory toys are thoughtfully designed to go beyond simple entertainment; they are built to provide soothing comfort and essential support for children of all needs, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN).  For children who find it a little harder to focus or stay still, meet Green Bean! With dangly arms, dangly legs, and a super-soft body, Green Bean is the ultimate friend to carry along on any adventure. Children love to dangle and hold Green Bean, making it a perfect, comforting fidget toy whether they are on a car journey, visiting the park, or heading over to see Grandma. The fun doesn't stop there! Be sure to check out our other collectable companions, like the lovable Mr. Bear. Available as a delightful two-piece gift set, you'll find a squidgy hive and a tiny bee friend ready for imaginative play. No matter what the day brings, Green Bean and friends are here to play, soothe, and grow alongside your child.
An interactive two-part bee toy, a heart-warming giftAt Green Bean Studios, we believe that the best kind of play is the one that sparks a child's natural curiosity. That's why we are so excited to introduce the interactive two-part bee toy, a heartwarming addition to the Green Bean Collection. This isn't just a plushie; it's a gateway to imagination, designed to support your little one's foundational stages of early learning and outdoor adventures.  A Home for Imagination Featuring a beautifully textured plush Bee and a soft, inviting hive, this duo is perfect for tiny hands to explore. Sensory play is essential for infants, and the different textures help stimulate tactile development. But the fun doesn't stop at home! With its handy handle, children can take their Bee on walks or hang the hive on a door, making it a wonderful portable companion for every journey. Room for Friends One of our favourite features is the hive's spacious interior. There's just enough room for the Bee to snuggle up with other favourites like Mr Bear and Green Bean. This encourages storytelling and companionship, helping children build social-emotional skills while they play. Supporting Every Milestone
As a multi-award-winning Manchester brand, we take pride in our child development expertise. This toy is carefully aligned with the EYFS framework to ensure children are developing the skills they need to be school-ready. Want to take the adventure even further? Pair your Bee toy with matching books from the collection or discover nature firsthand with Becket’s Bee Mix flower seeds—the perfect fragrant way to discover the world together. If you are looking for fantastic books for preschoolers, look no further than the Green Bean Collection! They offer wonderful collections tailored for babies, preschoolers, and older children ("jumping beans"). The preschooler books are so versatile that they are perfect to start with from the baby stage. These durable board books are truly loved and enjoyed by children, who eagerly return to them time and again. Available online, they are also sold in Waterstones, toy shops, and independent bookshops.  Be sure to check out “Green Bean’s Colours,” a firm favourite! You can enjoy this story as a hard copy or go online to watch a very short animated version. Utilising both formats hand-in-hand is highly beneficial; for babies, you don't even need to show them the screen—you can simply play the audio story in the background so they can listen while exploring the physical book. Green Bean is a household friend featured on both TV and radio, making this an essential book collection that is not to be missed. To enhance the experience, you can also add incredible toys that bring the characters to life right in your home and on your child's bookshelf. Getting our children school-ready is going to be an amazing journey! |
