Saturday, the 1st December 2018, saw us at the Li’l Skolar contest, a kids event, organized by Skola Toys. It was a jam-packed event with back-to-back, one-on-one contests for three age groups.

The 8th of December, 2017 saw us, a bunch of bloggers, educationists and child therapists meet at the Park Hotel, Chennai for a warm discussion on the effects of dictation vs discovery on early learning in children. The meet was organized by Skola Toys where we had the chance to interact with Mridula Sridhar, Co-Founder of Skola Toys. Post the discussion, we took a walk around the display of Skola Toys collection. As a participant blogger, I feel privileged to bring to you the fine points, videos and photographs from the meet.

I thank Full of Toys for giving me that clarity of what kind of learning tools a preschooler needs at this stage. Creativity, imagination, pretend play and fun were all that I had concentrated for him all along. This playdate experience has added reasoning ability, quick thinking, problem solving and analytical thinking to it. There’s much I learnt as a parent here.
When I saw the notification of the ASUS happy hours, I left the page midway between the line that read about some invitation for some meet. Travelling 5 + 5 hours to Bangalore with my toddler son would be a pain and I had put the invite aside. All of a sudden, a couple of…
