On 11 June 2025, UNICEF will mark the second annual International Day of Play under the global theme:

“Choose Play – Every Day!”

At Aden + Ren, that’s been our philosophy since day one.

Our solid wood playroom pieces aren’t just beautiful — they’re built to support independence, spark creativity, and invite your child to lead their own learning journey, every single day. Rooted in Montessori, Reggio Emilia, and Waldorf principles, they’re intentionally open-ended and built to last for generations.

Aden + Ren Designed to Develop

Studies show that 90% of your child’s brain is developed by age 5, and yet today’s overstimulating, single-purpose toys can actually delay key developmental milestones.

At Aden + Ren, we believe that slowing down actually speeds up learning.

That’s why our toys are open-ended, quiet by design, and intentionally simple, giving children the space to lead, move, imagine, and grow — because when a child leads the play, they build real-world skills like:

  • Gross and fine motor coordination
  • Emotional regulation
  • Focus and problem-solving
  • Creativity and confidence
