Green Bean & Friends inspires children to love the natural world, care for the environment, and enjoy being outdoors. This is a response to the growing popularity of mobile technology and the increase in children’s screen time, and how this has impacted the way children learn and interact with their surroundings. We recently launched a new series of videos called Play and Learn, featuring some of our genuine and devoted fans. Turning the tables for these videos, we let children take the lead, as they explore and play with the toys and games from our collection, discussing what they like about them and giving viewers an authentic experience of our range with feedback from a child’s perspective. These insights and feedback from children themselves are of key importance to our business and demonstrate the real love children have for our brand and products. Find A Love for Writing With Green BeanKids Creative Writing SheetsLatest research reveals a troubling decline in children's enjoyment of writing. Last year, we recorded the lowest ever levels of writing enjoyment since our records began. This year the picture is even worse. Less than a third of children and young people enjoy writing in their free time, and only 1 in 9 are writing daily. High numbers are leaving primary and secondary school without the literacy skills they need to thrive and children’s futures are being put at risk. National Literacy Trust Jonathan Douglas, CEO says: “It is now time to provide children and young people with more meaningful opportunities, both in and out of school, to reconnect with the creative elements of writing which transform it into an enjoyable activity that allows for self-expression and that works as a tool to process struggles, make sense of the world and participate actively in civic life.” National Literacy Trust is calling on the incoming government to ensure that creative and expressive writing are embedded in the Department for Education’s forthcoming writing framework in order to help more children discover a love of writing which can ultimately transform their lives. Who is Green Bean? Green Bean is a fictional character from the Green Bean Collection, a series of collectable children’s books, toys, music and entertainment productions created by author Anita Frost. Green Bean is a household friend for children from birth, to preschool, to primary school age.
