HP Launches Free Print, Play & Learn Platform
14 April 2020 - 2:00PM
HP Inc. today launched Print, Play & Learn, a free online
resource to support millions of families around the world who have
transitioned to learning from home. Collaborating with education
leaders, including Education.com, TIME for Kids, Canva, and KiwiCo,
HP is curating weekly literacy content as well as worksheets,
coloring pages, puzzles and other learning printables for parents
with children ages 2-12. Here’s a simple “how-to” guide for
accessing the latest printable Play & Learn content for free.
“Parents are concerned about the negative impact
sheltering in place will have on their child’s education1,” said
Anneliese Olson, SVP and general manager, printing category at HP.
“Recognizing families are looking for resources to help their
children continue to learn, we’re pleased to collaborate with these
great organizations to help continue education from home.”
As a result of this unprecedented transition to
work from home and home schooling, families have re-discovered the
utility and need for a printer as part of their home technology set
up. This realization has contributed to a 71 percent increase in HP
Smart App daily downloads2.
“We are seeing an unprecedented need for
help from parents, teachers and students during these difficult
times,” said Rich Yang, General Manager of Education.com. “Our
HP partnership enables us to support even more parents and teachers
with worksheets, lesson plans and games to support distance
learning and engagement.”
Results of a recent HP study of 1000 parents in
the US underscores the important role printing is playing for
families who are now working and learning from home. In fact,
according to the survey responses:
- 66 percent of parents in the US are using their printers for
educational and school related materials1
- Parents in households without a home printer feel the
impact:° 62 percent said they would feel better equipped to
educate with a home printer° 53 percent noted they would
be able to entertain their children better with a home printer
- 41 percent use their home printer to print games and
activities
- 1 in 4 parents have either bought a printer due to physical
distancing needs or are planning to buy one
Print, Play & Learn is available now on the
