This is Max, he founded Unplug & Play a couple of years ago after a business planning project for school. He was keen for a job, but at 13, he was too young, so he created his own. He's passionate about creating things and being outside, and he wanted to make something that encouraged other kids to do that too. If you'd like to support a young entrepreneur and encourage creativity and problem solving through Play in your kids, check out Unplug and Play's Inventors Kits, Story Blocks, I-spy bottles and Natural Blocks.
