The Imagination Initiative

Screen time is a major issue for young families - with studies showing that it impacts a child’s development, social skills and imagination.

The Imagination Initiative was established by Bloomsbury Lane Toy Shoppe in 2024 as a way to partner with local businesses to establish screen free zones for children to play without a need for cell phones and tablets.

We are proud to work with businesses in the community and are always looking to expand our group. If you are interested in joining or helping us support this cause, please inquire below.
