Happy Heart Kid Launches Unique Product Line that Aims to Educate the Hearts of Children
NEW YORK, Dec. 2, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Happy Heart Kid, an educational startup on a mission to teach young children values through play, has just launched a Kickstarter campaign to help families Play with Purpose.
The company – think Sesame Street meets Montessori Education – has created activity kits that make it easy for parents to talk to their children about values, while engaging their creative and curious minds through play.
In conjunction with the holiday season, Happy Heart Kid launched a crowd-funding campaign with Kickstarter (http://kck.st/1uDMulO) for its first two products, activity kits on Empathy and Manners.
Each Happy Heart Kid kit includes an activity book, an engaging craft idea, games and role-playing, and a hands-on project that connects the concept to "real life." The components of each kit, designed in collaboration with parents and Montessori teachers, progressively deepen the understanding of the character trait for that box and are proven to engage different learning styles (cognitive, auditory, visual, and kinesthetic).
"There is a welcome trend in educational toys to promote STEM and literacy skills. As important as those are, they are not in itself sufficient to prepare our kids for demands the twenty first century," said Archana Jiwnani, former Wall Street Analyst and founder of Happy Heart Kid. "Our mission is to make character building fun and accessible for families and break down the barriers for kids to understand and practice abstract concepts such as Empathy and Grit."
Perks of being a backer range from a calendar featuring the cute Happy Heart Kid characters, to creating a custom character in your own name, to donating Happy Heart Kid classroom materials to inner city schools.
The team wants to expand beyond their first two products, and continue developing games, crafts, and workbooks to teach additional character traits such as Patience and Courage.
At the time of this writing, with two weeks left, Happy Heart Kid has reached 75% of their goal to raise funds to print, purchase and ship supplies from wholesalers.
