At Green Bean Studios, one of our core missions is to inspire a lifelong love of learning to help children thrive. Founder and multi-award-winning author, Anita Frost, has over 16 years of experience in child development, creating curriculums and learning resources for children from birth up to primary school age. Harnessing this expert knowledge, she developed the Green Bean Collection – a series of educational books, toys and games for young children – using elements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework to enable children to, learn, develop, and reach their full potential. How does the Green Bean Collection link into this The Green Bean Collection contains a range of collectable books, toys and games designed to help young children learn key skills and support their early education. We have incorporated elements of the Early Years Foundation Stage (EYFS) statutory framework into our collection, to promote the seven key areas of learning as set out in this framework. Our board books for babies and toddlers contain bold colours, interesting illustrations, and lift-the-flap features which help engage young children and encourage their natural curiosity. Green Bean’s Shapes has been designed to stimulate a baby’s vision by using black, white and red. Green Bean’s Numbers teaches number recognition through observational learning, and each number comes with isolated objects to reinforce this. In Green Bean’s Colours, bold colours on each page help to familiarise younger children with everyday colours. Within our paperback books, aimed at children aged 3+ years old, we have developed a unique way of positioning the words on page, making it easy and engaging for young readers to digest and start to recognise letters and words. The illustrations work alongside the stories to help children understand the words used from their context and begin to associate meaning with different objects and scenarios. Our stories are full of exciting adventures and interesting characters with unique personalities, helping to develop creativity and imagination in children, but also help them to understand the world around them and their own identity and place within it. Our books encourage good personal, social and emotional development by building confidence and self-worth in children. When reading with a caregiver, the stories help to promote good mental health and wellbeing for children by nurturing feelings of connection and closeness. Sharing our stories in this way supports a love of reading and learning from a young age, to set children in good stead for starting school and the classroom environment. In addition to our books, we have developed a range of educational toys and games to support and enhance children’s early learning. When played with in addition to reading our books, children are further encouraged to enjoy reading and explore their own creativity through imaginative play. Our games include card games, jigsaw puzzles, and a pop-up house, which all help children’s physical development, such as fine motor skills, as well as spatial awareness, observation, memory, and recognition of numbers and letters. Through interacting with our toys and games, children also develop skills in communication and personal, social and emotional aspects such as turn taking, teamwork, coping with emotions, and how they fit into the world around them. Our toys encourage children’s creativity by presenting opportunities for role play. The soft toys in our range are great tactile tools which are particularly soothing and comforting for ‘high-mobility’ children to help them stay calm and focus.
