SimplyFun: Educational Games That Make Learning Fun

Wish you could find entertaining games your kids will fully enjoy and just happen to be educational too? Yes, you can—with SimplyFun!

SimplyFun was founded in 2004, but at the time, focused solely on developing traditional board games. After seeing how much kids enjoyed them, they got to thinking, why not create games that not only teach kids how to play, but that help them thrive? So in 2008, they launched a line of educational games that found an immediate audience with kids of all ages. From fun stories for preschoolers to math games for middle school students and teens, their games make learning fun. 

They are also committed to safety. Their products meet or exceed United States ASTM standards (American Society for Testing and Materials) for toys and games and each game they create is also evaluated by their Play Advisory Council, ensuring the needs of different ages and skill levels are met. Their commitment to quality has helped them win over 200 awards from top organizations in the world of education, play, and parenting. SimplyFun is so confident that your family will love their games, they offer a 30–day money back return policy (excluding shipping charges) if you are dissatisfied with any product or for any other reason.
