For 27 years, Erika Cunha has played the role of an early childhood educationist, making innovative worksheets for young children. The last few months, though, have disturbed her no end. Watching her 18-month-old granddaughter stare blanky at the screen, while attending classes online, made her feel helpless. "I have always emphasised the importance of art and craft and sticking activities to develop motor and sensory skills of children. In times like these, we've seen how parents too, are at a loss on how to do creative activities with their kids," says Cunha, who decided to use her knowledge and expertise in the field to create an animal habitat book series called Brainteasers.
