apples&oranges is an ecosystem of parent-child learning materials, centered around building life skills and academic foundations.
a&o was born out of a need for accessible early childhood learning moments that fit into busy parent schedules, at no cost to families.
The product centers on a research-backed set of activities for parents and children (ages 2–4), aimed at increasing the positive interactions between parents and children that are critical precursors to learning.
The curriculum takes place entirely in the grocery store, using materials like packages, carts, and fruits to build toward important kindergarten readiness skills (e.g., counting to 10) and life competencies (e.g., communication and empathy).
During these bite-sized learning moments, parents can leverage booklets for screen-free time or an audio-based app experience.
