HP launches free print, play, and learn platform

April 15, 2020

HP Inc. 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, colouring pages, puzzles and other learning pintables for parents with children ages 2-12.

“Parents are concerned about the negative impact sheltering in place will have on their child’s education,” said Anneliese Olson, SVP and General Manager, printing category at HP. “Recognising families are looking for resources to help their children continue to learn, we’re pleased to collaborate with these great organisations 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, HP said. This realisation has contributed to a 71% increase in HP Smart App daily downloads.

“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.”

Print, Play & Learn is available now on the HP Smart mobile app worldwide and at hp.com/printplaylearn.
