Educational Toy Leader Reveals "Wizards of
Waverly Place" Star & Father of Three As Playfluencer
Ambassador
VERNON
HILLS, Ill., June 21,
2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Learning Resources, the
award-winning toy company and original influencer of learning
through play, is on a mission to educate parents about the powerful
impact play can have on a child's development. Today, the brand is
pleased to announce that father and actor David Henrie has joined the Playfluencer
Movement, celebrating how he and his wife have 'playfluenced' their
three young children.
Henrie, well-recognized for his role on Disney Channel's hit
show "Wizards of Waverly Place," has joined forces with Learning
Resources to educate families about the value playtime holds on
children's skills development. As a father of three little ones and
a long-time Learning Resources fan, Henrie will showcase how
Learning Resources' toys have helped his family grow together.
"Every night, my wife and I discuss how we can be a positive
influence on our children. As I embrace this new chapter in my life
as a father both on and off the television screen, the message
behind the Playfluencer Movement is exactly what we've been
craving," shared David Henrie. "It's
been a goal of mine for a while now to partner with Learning
Resources. Their toys have been a source of so many good memories
in my household and have been passed down from one kid to the next.
Our kids have actually fought over the Pretend & Play
Calculator Cash Register, so we had to get two!"
On June 11th, in celebration of
the inaugural International Day of Play, Learning Resources ignited
its Playfluencer Movement, declaring its commitment to helping
families embrace and champion the benefits of play, reinforcing the
brand's mission to foster a lifelong love of learning. Through
engaging content and expert insights, the brand and its
Playfluencer Ambassadors aim to inspire families to take full
advantage of purposeful playtime.
"We are thrilled to welcome David as our lead Playfluencer
Ambassador and are excited to work together to make a positive
impact on children and families," said Jon
Horn, vice president of brand management at Learning
Resources. "When we found out that David was already a Learning
Resources brand fan, we knew that his genuine enthusiasm for
championing learning through play would make him the perfect
partner for our Playfluencer Movement."
