HP News, Friday, June 14th, 2024
In today's digital world, screens are becoming the norm, impacting the way our kids connect with one another. Research shows kids learn better on paper, especially for reading comprehension and retention due to factors such as tactile engagement, reduced distractions, and improved focus.
Studies also show that creative expression and hands-on tactics like arts and crafts are integral to childhood development and communication, particularly for the 1 in 5 kids worldwide who are neurodivergent and may struggle with managing their emotions or expressing themselves.
Helping children express who they truly are is the impetus behind HP's Print Pals, a new line of printable puppets, custom-designed by renowned puppeteer Stacey Gordon as well as experts and members of the neurodiversity community. Print Pals merges the magic of printing with the vibrant world of art to foster social engagement and digital inclusion, so that every child is heard and seen in a colorful, impactful way.
