PH Online Shop Offers Engaging Educational Toys, Limits Screen Time for Kids

In the Philippines, a new online shop, MarcusNMommy, offers a unique approach to early childhood development by providing interactive learning materials instead of gadgets. Owner Jeremiah Villanueva explains that the idea came from his own experience with his son, Marcus. "In 2017, when Marcus was born, we noticed he was spending too much time on screens," says Villanueva. "So, my wife started creating these interactive books to limit screen time and engage him in learning activities." The shop's products are designed for children aged 1 to 8 and include various themes like dinosaurs, shapes, and countries. These hand-made, laminated books are durable and portable, making them perfect for travel. One busy book is priced at ₱1200 and can be customized. MarcusNMommy can be contacted through their Facebook page, Instagram, Shopee, and Lazada. Villanueva adds, "Customer satisfaction is our top priority." The segment concludes with a positive note, showcasing Marcus, a six-year-old, demonstrating his engagement with the learning materials. This initiative offers a valuable alternative for parents seeking engaging and educational activities for their children.
