Dolls to dictionaries
The library allows you to take home wooden toys, puzzles, board games, brain-tickling building blocks, toy bikes and outdoor games, soft toys and electronic musical pieces, among others. And no, it ain't all play and no study here. In the books' section, there are pre-school series, picture dictionaries, storybooks and comics. All the stuff can be borrowed for a week, in one go.
The CD-ROMs and VCD range includes pre-primary and educational titles, moral stories, mythological stories, cartoon stories, animated movies and computer games.
What takes the cake, however, is a talking laptop, which helps learn and pronounce words. Every toy has two pieces, so we hope your li'l one's in good luck!u00a0u00a0u00a0
And oh, there's maths too!
To balance out, kids can also take Maths classes during their visit. "The classes, of course, are optional, and they help in the overall development of the child," explains Vinita Gupta, master franchisee, Delhi-NCR. The toys, too, are built with specific development in mind, like those that help in hand and eye coordination, and CD versions that make a child technologically smarter. The interiors aren't grand, but the concept certainly is.
