We established Flying Penguin Extraordinary Educational Toys to provide quality educational toys and games which sustain young people, the local community and the planet.
We offer a range of toys, games, books and puzzles that are educational because they:
foster imagination and creativity
convey facts about the world around us and develop our understanding of our relationship with the environment
offer opportunities for engagement with scientific principles
improve hand-eye coordination and gross and fine motor skills
encourage higher order and strategic thinking and problem solving
help develop spatial awareness and reasoning
encourage artistic construction and design
facilitate literacy and numeracy skill development
facilitate understanding of social justice principles
All products on this website and a wide range of toys in the Newtown shop are more environmentally friendly than the average toy. We are confident that you will find the perfect gift for any child or young person aged between 0 and 15 years at Flying Penguin.
Flying Penguin Extraordinary Educational Toys is a family business. With backgrounds in training, community development, management, policy and training and educational resource development, Vicki Harding and Jackie Braw were ready for a sea change and wanted to work towards a more sustainable future. Being parents of a teen who loves playing with younger children, a quality toy shop was the obvious choice.
With a booming population of children in Newtown and surrounding suburbs and a growing supply of excellent educational and environmentally-friendly toys, Flying Penguin was born.
