November 25, 2013 – Just in time for the holiday season, national non-profit KaBOOM!, a leader in giving all kids the childhood they deserve, partnered with  imagine toys, a specialty toy retailer, to introduce  a new collection  toys designed to keep kids physically active while challenging their imaginations.  Aptly named the Go Out and Play Collection, it provides rich and robust experiences for the whole family.

“Kids need a balance of all types of active play, every day, to help them become happy, healthy and successful adults,” says KaBOOM! Founder and CEO, Darell Hammond. “We know that play can transform children—from sedentary to physically active, bored to mentally active, and solitary to socially active. The Go Out and Play Collection is perfect for exercising kids’ bodies and minds.”

“We are thrilled to partner with KaBOOM! on this new collection, which helps raise awareness of the cause of play while offering parents great new products,” says imagine toys president Holly Ringle.

A percentage of the profits from every purchase from the Go Out and Play Collection goes back to KaBOOM! ensuring that all kids get the balance of active play they need to thrive. The 29-item Go Out and Play Collection ranges in price from $11.95 – $225.00 and is available for purchase at imaginetoys.com.  

KaBOOM! is the national non-profit dedicated to giving kids the childhood they deserve by bringing play to those who need it most. Children today spend less time playing outdoors than any previous generation, a fact that is having disastrous consequences on their health, achievement levels, and overall well-being. Social entrepreneur Darell Hammond founded the non-profit KaBOOM! in 1996 in Washington, D.C., with a vision of creating a great place to play within walking distance of every child in America because children need to play actively every day at home, in school and in their communities. Since then, KaBOOM! has mapped over 100,000 places to play, built more than 2,400 playgrounds, and successfully advocated for play policies in hundreds of cities across the country.
