MERRY CHRISTMAS
|
Tune in we just premiered tonight at 8 pm with a brand new Christmas story,
slippers and hot chocolate at the ready! Join Green Bean in this wonderful Christmas story with fun lifting flaps and count along adventures. Little readers go on a wintry journey to find Green Bean's House. What will be inside the BIG red sack? ©2019 Green Bean Collection The girls started being mentored by Anita Frost as part of the Entrepreneur Academy last November. They met her first at a church meeting for business people. Following on from this, they met her for coffee, to get some advice from her. From then on, they joined the Academy. Every so often, they would meet with Anita to check in about their goals and overall vision. She taught them the practicalities of what they needed to do to become a premium brand. “We used to be in the habit of doing things last minute”, Adeola explains, “but Anita told us that you have to plan things many months in advance. This year, we are so much further ahead with everything. We did our Christmas photo shoot in September, and the pictures are already out for our Christmas marketing. It is great to have someone in your life with that level of business experience who can tell you what mistakes you are making, and to keep us accountable. She does for us what we do for our team”  The girls said that so far, 2019 has been an awesome year, full of breakthroughs. Taking the leap of faith to leave their full time jobs is when things really started to get amazing for them, and when the opportunities started coming in. At this moment in time, Jane and Adeola are excited about their plans for the future of their brand and business, and their plans to expand into the US. But most of all, the impact on Africa is the thing that drives them more than anything else - to see real and lasting change in the lives of individuals, families, and ultimately communities.  Join as we celebrate our second anniversary! What an incredible year we have had and are super excited to share our highlights with you. Green Bean Studios the home of the Green Bean Collection a fun, educational and imaginative range of children's toys and books that a whole family can enjoy together. Let's walk together through September 2018 to September 2019 and all the adventures we had along the way.
The Community Learning and development is at the heart of the Green Bean Collection and we have strived to help young children grow in their understanding. Our successful storytime sessions around the UK tripled by June 2019, having the absolute pleasure as a team to connect with more children and families on a grander and wider scale. Some of our highlight locations were in Manchester, Cheshire, Trafford and Devon. Seeing Devon a great seaside attraction become a firm favourite of the Green Bean Collection, with toy stores doubling on repeat orders. We invite you to come with your children to enjoy even more adventures with Green Bean and friends this winter as our festive roadshow gets underway on the thirteenth of November 2019 starting at Nantwich Bookshop in Cheshire.  Families Green Bean Collection celebrates its second anniversary and to mark the end of an incredible year, let's hear what our customers think. “We LOVE the Green Bean collection! As a parent and also working in public health, I know how important it is to find books that engage children from a young age. These books certainly do that! All whilst conveying positive messages in a simple way, and sparking imagination! I would definitely recommend!” “As soon as she opened the package, she instantly loved Mr Bear and was playing with Green Beans House. She let her friend play with Green Bean which was great as it encouraged them both to interact together and share her new toys”. Here at the Green Bean Studios, we honour the fact that kids need space to read and through the Green Bean Collection we have created characters that encourage and celebrates learning. Our teaching goes beyond learning about numbers and colours - we seek to build the confidence of young children and demonstrate the importance of friendship. The individuality of each character lends itself to lessons about the uniqueness of each child and how we are all special as we are. Green Bean, Mr Bear and new friend, Beckett the Bee, partake in fun adventures that take children on a magical journey. “Green Bean collection books has been a life-changing experience with my son getting excited about the characters and has that personal connection. He’s interest in reading even other books has increased. Educative, fun and personal set of books.”
Sparking Imagination With our fictional character, Green Bean, we take children on an adventure of learning and understanding, highlighting key vocabulary and identifying areas of interest for children. Through enhancing their imaginations and broadening their horizons, we help children to think creatively and grow in confidence. Understanding that a child’s education starts before formal schooling is essential, so we provide parents and carers with the resources to encourage learning from early childhood. To cater to the growing interest in technology, we released more Youtube footage this year ‘Green Bean At The Pool” to take your children on adventures in the comfort of your own home. Green Bean will educate and entertain your little ones through storytelling and interaction. Check out our brand new kids journal, with downloadable activities along with much more... Retail We launched our first retail wall feature at Waterstones Deansgate in Manchester City Center. This showstopper quickly gained traction from new and existing fans, the back to school range sold out within a few short weeks. Hey! you can never have too many books and toys to help you learn right? This year our new packaging and box gift sets have been a massive hit with customers and a sell-out across many of our pop up stores. Our retail journey can be enjoyed by visiting one of our pop up shops across the UK while listening to an extra special storytime with Green Bean and Friends. Our great storytimes also happen within many independent book and toy stores Devon, Trafford, Cheshire, Liverpool and Manchester City Center each one promised to be a great family day out. Shop online or collect at your local Waterstones, the Green Bean Collection is also featured across the UK in independent bookshops and toy shops.
