Learning Resources — Learning is Where We Play

Learning Resources is one of the most trusted educational toy brands in the world — and a brand we're proud to carry at Little Stars for their genuine commitment to making learning joyful.

The Story Behind Learning Resources

Learning Resources Inc was founded in 1984 in Chicago, Illinois, USA — with a vision to create toys that made learning fun and accessible for children of all ages and abilities. What started as a company focused on classroom educational materials grew into one of the world's most recognized hands-on learning toy brands. Littlestarstoystore

With 40 years of experience, their family-owned company's mission is to offer children educational toys for infinite inspiration to succeed in school and beyond — making toys that help children love to learn about themselves and the world through hands-on discovery and play. 

Trusted by Teachers, Loved by Kids

Learning Resources products are used by teachers across the globe — offering hands-on, play-based aids children can use to actively engage with the concepts they're learning in the classroom. Their toys work equally well at home, bridging the gap between school learning and home play. 

Family-owned Learning Resources provides over 1,000 different products to more than 80 countries — and has won Toy of the Year awards for products including Tumble Trax, Botley the Coding Robot, and Coding Critters.
