Toys have existed in India since the Indus Valley Civilisation. Since then, these simple playthings have evolved into what they are today. Toys and games are not only meant to entertain children but also to teach them how to develop their minds and boost their cognitive skills. Unlike the fancy and expensive toys available in the stores, traditional handcrafted Indian toys and games are simple and take their inspiration from nature. They are designed keeping in mind how a child would react to them and how it is applicable in real life.
