Learning Materials Workshop introduces ART & PLAY, a new collection of architectural building sets created for children and design-loving adults.

The company was founded in 1979 by Karen Hewitt, an artist, early childhood educator, toy historian, and college lecturer in art education. Her innovative block designs have won national recognition and have proven to be a favorite material for children, teachers, and parents in the United States and Worldwide.

The impulse to construct, to take apart, and to build again is universal among young children. Learning Materials Workshop supports this active approach to learning with a series of high-quality block sets that invite children to explore, to invent, to represent, to redesign, and to test their theories about their physical and social world, and the world of their imagination.
