Dear Parents and Caregivers,

Welcome to the first issue of my Discovery Toys e-newsletter! I will be publishing about once per month, as new promotions and events come up. Another great source of info on specials, promotions, and events is my Facebook page - take a look today and "Like" the page to stay current.

The European Festival last Saturday was great fun and is still fun for Discovery Toys customers. The promotions from Festival Day are extended until this Wednesday, June 2! Full details can be viewed in the flyer to the right, but in brief, all orders placed by Wednesday are 10% off ! Plus there's a special gift for anyone who books a new workshop or party.

Take advantage! For 2 Days Only, you can combine the 10% promotion from the Festival with the Summer Sale prices! Deals like this don't come along often. 

Consider any birthdays you have coming up and plan ahead. Discovery Toys aren't available in stores so they make great, unique presents. Imagine how handy it will be to reach into your closet for little Billy's birthday present instead of going to the mall.

Focus on Old-Fashioned Play

I was inspired watching the kids at the Festival, especially with the three toys I mentioned above. Many children were happily playing with these toys for over an hour, and almost all (if not all) the children who visited played with at least one of them. Many families returned several times because their kids wanted to play with the same toy again.

So what do they have in common that captivated everyone like that? And how are they different from the toys relegated to the bottom of toy boxes everywhere, that looked so enticing at the store but had no staying power once the package was open?

It's hard not to notice that these three Discovery Toys are manual. Hammer a ball to watch it roll and fall. Build a track to race your marbles through. Use a tool to take apart your airplane and put it back together. These toys are also simple. Sure, putting together a Marbleworks track can be a challenge. But there's no wires, no 'magic' that kids can neither see nor understand. When something happens, it's because the child makes it happen.

Imagine the learning that's taking place. Imagine the sense of accomplishment they feel. It's no wonder kids find these toys more satisfying than ones where the toy does all the playing for them. As parents, we should be grateful for that. We should nurture it.

I hope you've enjoyed this first issue of my newsletter. I invite you to share it with your friends and family.

Sincerely,

Natalie Lawy
