Barnes & Noble Opens Toy Section

Bookseller Barnes & Noble has launched Educational Toys & Games Science Centers at select stores across the U.S. and on its website.

The new section features educational, science-focused toys and games designed to provide children opportunities for scientific learning and discovery. Among the brands represented are Thames & Kosmos, Educational Insights, Scientific Explorer and Elenco.

“At Barnes & Noble, we know that children have an innate ability to observe and question as they explore the world around them, and that is why we have created a science resource center aimed at providing them with a variety of materials to encourage experimentation, scientific thinking and advanced subject-specific learning, in fun and engaging ways,” says Kathleen Campisano, vice president, toys and games, Barnes & Noble. “We are so pleased to be able to offer the leading selection of educational toys and games, and we are proud to have our pulse on what is at the heart of educational initiatives.”
