This time we donated a total of 14 toys from the “Forest Play Tools” and “Milky Toy” series. “Forest Play Tools” is a standard series from GENI that has been carefully designed with play and shapes appropriate for each age group. You can choose from blocks, play houses, etc. that suit your child’s growth, so you can have fun while nurturing fingertip exercise and communication skills. We hope that the children at Katsushika School for the Deaf will enjoy learning and playing time with their friends and teachers to the fullest, and that they will lead fulfilling lives in the future. Thank you very much for donating these wonderful toys. The children in the 1-2 year old class attending infant education consultations and the children in the kindergarten section are having fun playing with the toys they received. All of our products have the warmth of wood and are toys that children can play with with peace of mind. The younger children in the Kindergarten section love fire engines, and can be seen playing with building blocks to build roads and buildings. Middle and older children often play with toys on the stove. It’s a toy that uses the power of a magnet to flip the contents of a frying pan over, and although it takes some skill, it’s fun to watch it flip over. Our school carries out educational activities that place importance on children’s play. We hope that this “Let’s make everyone smile with toys!” project will continue to spread and create a society where children are filled with smiles. ■Future outlook We will continue to solicit the cooperation of kindergartens, child care facilities, etc. that support the “Let’s make everyone smile with toys!” project, and continue our activities not only in the local area but also in a wider area. We would like to use this technology to provide “high-quality education” to as many children as possible, as well as work to reduce industrial waste. In addition to donating toys, we would also like to consider activities that allow children, who will lead the next generation, to develop their knowledge with peace of mind and become active members of society. Through these activities, we aim to create a society where all children can learn equally and contribute to the realization of a world where no one is left behind. ■Company profile Ed Inter Co., Ltd.
