At Creature & Co., we’re all about creating family-first content that matters. We work with brands to create quality content that entertains, educates and empowers kids, families and their communities. That’s why we’re massive fans of edutainment – that magical mix of education and entertainment that makes kids (and adults) feel like learning is the best game in town. Whether it’s through apps, videos, or interactive experiences, some companies have absolutely nailed the art of edutainment. Here’s a shout-out to five brands who are crushing it when it comes to entertaining, educational content.

We all know LEGO is the king of play, but they’re also total pros when it comes to education. LEGO Education combines hands-on learning with digital tools to teach kids critical skills in science, technology, engineering, and maths (STEM). Their kits come packed with interactive lessons for both the classroom and home, encouraging kids to build, experiment, and solve problems while having an absolute blast with those iconic little bricks.

By tapping into kids’ natural creativity and curiosity, LEGO Education turns tricky concepts like coding and robotics into something playful and memorable. Because let’s be real, when learning feels like playtime, the possibilities are endless!

Khan Academy is a game-changer in online education, offering free, high-quality content for learners of all ages. But with Khan Academy Kids, they’ve turned things up a notch for younger children. This app is brimming with animated characters, stories, and games that cover reading, writing, maths, and social-emotional skills – all wrapped up in a playful, interactive package.

The app adapts to each child’s learning level, making education feel personal and fun. It’s like a custom learning adventure that keeps kids coming back for more, all while building those all-important foundational skills.

Tynker takes the seemingly complex world of coding and makes it accessible, fun, and easy for kids to dive into. Through a series of interactive coding challenges, games, and projects, Tynker teaches children how to build their own apps, create animations, and even control robots! It’s all done through a visual, drag-and-drop system that makes coding feel more like solving puzzles than crunching numbers.

What’s even better is that Tynker allows kids to progress at their own pace, so whether they’re a complete beginner or a future tech genius, they’ll be empowered to level up their skills while having a blast along the way.

National Geographic Kids brings the world’s wonders straight into your living room. Whether it’s through magazines, books, TV shows, or websites, this brand excels at making the natural world, history, and science feel like an epic adventure.

With vibrant visuals, fascinating facts, and engaging stories, National Geographic Kids takes kids on a journey through topics like wildlife conservation, ancient history, and space exploration. And with quizzes, activities, and interactive games, they make learning complex topics a breeze – and a lot of fun, too.

Osmo is changing the way kids learn by blending physical play with digital technology. With Osmo’s interactive games, children use tangible pieces like letter tiles and puzzle shapes to interact with a digital screen, making learning both hands-on and immersive. The system covers a wide range of subjects – from maths and spelling to drawing and coding – and it’s all wrapped up in a format that’s so engaging, kids don’t even realise they’re learning.

Osmo encourages creativity and problem-solving, turning screen time into a dynamic learning experience. It’s the perfect balance of digital fun and real-world interaction, helping kids grasp essential skills in a way that feels like playtime.

These five brands are leading the edutainment revolution, proving that learning can be as fun as it is effective. By blending education with entertainment, they’ve cracked the code for keeping kids engaged, helping them absorb knowledge in ways they’ll actually remember. In a world where attention spans are short and distractions are everywhere, edutainment gives children experiences they’ll want to come back to again and again.
