For young children, creating art is both an expression of the individual spirit and lots of fun. Experimenting with color, creating with their own hands, and replicating the world around them are all part of the wonder and excitement that characterize the artistic spirit.
LearnFromToys is proud to carry a line of educational toys that are sure to enhance childrens’ creativity, imagination, and artistic nature.
For those little ones who love to handle things and use their hands, we recommend Character Direct’s Pooh Dough play sets. A 5 oz. bucket of artist dough includes a special stamper/figure of Pooh, Rabbit, Eeyore, Kangaroo, or Piglet. The child in your life is free to re-create his favorite Pooh character or whatever else he or she wishes.
Also available for the little sculptor is Hasbro’s Play-Doh: Chomp ‘N Chew Diner set, which comes with three 2-ounce cans of modeling compound, built-in food molds, menu mold, spatula, and 2 Dohville figurines that grow Play-Doh hair and can chomp down on the delectable treats your child makes
And where will the little Michelangelos create their masterpieces? Step2 offers a comfortable, safe, sturdy, easy-to-clean working desk, complete with an integrated seat with storage. The desk features plenty of working space with storage beneath, as well as two desktop organizers and an elevated storage shelf for any and all supplies the artist requires. Even better, an integrated light spotlights the work area, so kids can easily see their creative visions come to fruition. Check it out!
We also carry a Little Tikes plastic Red Double Easel, which features trays to hold art supplies, a large chalkboard on one side, and a blank pad of paper on the other. Easily cleaned, the easel can be conveniently folded and stored after use.

Say goodbye to the kicking and screaming (and sometimes thrashing) that comes with taking your little one into the bath tub.
Little Tikes’ Periscope Boat is a boat-shaped periscope that lets a child see underwater and search for hidden treasures that lie beneath the surface (so be sure to drop something down there for the little navigator to discover), thanks to its internal mirror with an adjustable viewing angle. The Little Tikes Periscope Boat is sure to enhance a child’s time spent in the tub and familiarize them with the mysterious world of deep-sea exploration!

Children are, by nature, little scientists - curious, observant, asking how things happen, and learning how to find the answers. Our educational toys help children make sense of what they see and relate their new discoveries to their pre-existing knowledge or awareness. Children who ask questions, offer predictions and explanations, and explore in a safe environment, are honing the tools to become successful science students and scientific thinkers.
Here are a few ways that Learn From Toys can help you and your little one explore the world scientifically:
