about us

We were founded in 1969 by two research engineers in the labs of the multinational company, Monsanto Incorporated, in St. Louis MO. Our founders Mike Latta and Ken Menke introduced the newly created world of plastics to Early Childhood products. We continue that tradition today.

 


Our Company

At Learning Products, we’re proud to be the industry innovator for early childhood products. We’ve invented and pioneered the following early childhood products:

Infection Control Rest Mat® - we invented this with two patents issued and one patent pending.

Educube® - We invented this in 1969 and have improved it again for 2004 with sealed vent holes to prevent finger traps and fluid reservoirs.

Locomotion and TLC Trikes® - We have engineered these products to meet the rigid ANSi standards, not just the European standards.

Sand & Water Play - Learning Products is the original innovator of Sand & Water Play products, and we think they are still the best.

Snap Wall® Systems - Learning Products invented this in 1969 and introduced the wonderful world of plastics to Early Childhood!

Get the original, get the best, get Learning Products!
