Bumpy Rides: The Best Sensory Toys for Kids

Toys are like sky, they give infinite happiness, peace, and love to kids In play a child always behaves beyond his usual age, above his usual behavior. In play it looks like they are head taller than themselves. Play is not a break from learning. It is endless, delightful, deep, engaging, practical learning. Rightly said, it’s the straight doorway into the child’s heart. In my ever evolving & consistent search for innovative toys for my children I came cross some beautiful “Sensory toys”. What are sensory toys? Sensory play toys are great way for kids to relax, enjoy and focus. Unlike regular toys, sensory toys appeal & relate to specific sensory systems and help children to regulate their senses. It enables them to develop and enhance cognitive skills, motor skills, concentration etc. The beautifully designed creative sensory paths from Bumpy rides enable kids to complete complex tasks by building stronger >sensory connections in the brain. They are so beautiful and appealing that in no time it will become part of your child’s daily routine. During this pandemic, where children are stuck indoors, nothing could be better than these sensory pathways for kids. This helped me a lot to channelize their energies in right directions, away from screen and towards some fitness and learning. These are diligently designed to help in the overall development and well-being of the child. Such an innovating learning experience, perfect blend of learning and fun, it is indeed a must possession for all young parents, schools, kindergartens, day care centers and Montessori’s etc. In fact, it has been conceptualized for all kids, they can be helpful with children with learning disabilities and motivate them to catch up to their peers. Point to Note: Always remember, when looking for sensory toys for kids, consider the types of activities your child seeks out — and which activities they avoid. This will help you understand what kind of sensory toy they are most comfortable with. For instance, does your child love jumping up and down on the bed or furniture and have a difficult time containing their energy, or do they find it difficult to concentrate at daycare because there are too many visual and auditory things happening at once? Understanding in detail about which senses the toys can help focus will help you determine what kind of sensory toy your child needs. Bumpy’s spin tops: Apart from these sensory pathways, I was amazed by Bumpy’s wooden spin tops , perfect for children of all ages, in fact I too enjoy playing with them, a great way to bond with children.

Nutrisi Duniya: Motivation for children to unplug from Screens

 

 

“Play is our brain's favorite way of learning” – Diane Ackerman

Digital Gadgets have changed a child from an irresistible force to an immovable object.

Screens are everywhere we and our children look. They are involved in how we keep in touch with friends and family and keep tab on other updates. We get most of our news and entertainment via them. And now we even use them for online schooling or summer camps as well!

In today’s world, it is utmost important to introduce our kids to these fun and new technologies. But we need to ensure that they are not becoming dependent on screens to manage behavior. Because even though these apps and the internet promises to provide educational games and resources, there is little evidence that they are beneficial to a young child’s cognitive development.

Exposure to excessive screen time is in fact associated with attention and learning problems, poor academic performance, lack of concentration, increased anxiety, restlessness, obesity, and negative behavior in children are few to mention.

Screen time and time in the real world (off-screen) should be well-balanced. Remember these are recommendations – there is no magic formula where bad or good things happen. The rationale is to have healthy habits become a daily routine for your child and your family for their bright & healthy future.

Ishva Designs: Helping Shape Screen Free Childhood for our Children

 

 “Childhood is the most cherished chapter of all life’s chapters”

Remember collecting coins or stamps in our childhood?

Remember exchanging currencies with friends?

Remember asking your grandparents for old currency or stamps?

What nostalgia never thought that these childhood collections were beginning of experiencing cross country culture at young age.

I remember having a pen friend in Australia when I was 10 years old, we used to exchange letters with stamps, coins etc. and this continued for few years.

As a mother of two young boys, I firmly believe that knowing about different parts of world like their flags, currency, capitals should be part of early learning. Digital Gadgets have changed a child from an irresistible force to an immovable object and inducing a balance between screen time and time in the real world (off-screen) is must in today’s world.

Our screen free childhood has various such memories, stamp collection, flag collection, coin collection etc. etc. The memories are still so fresh, by acquiring cross-cultural knowledge, you can express yourself with confidence and understand how to be patient with other people who aren't from a similar background as you grow.

Eventually, it also provides great opportunity to meet/interact with fellow students/peers from other cultures and understand their culture & policies in more detail.

Talking to your kids about money/world currencies at an early age can help them understand the value of the dollar/rupee, how to save for long-term goals and how to spend responsibly. Teaching children in initial years of their childhood about finances can help build financial literacy and give them a stronger ability to manage their finances later in life

Currency is the official money of a country. It consists of paper money and coins. Each country has its own form of currency, which is supervised by the central bank of that country. Even though different countries may have similar name of currency, their currencies are usually not connected to one another. Hence, children should have good general knowledge of currencies used all over the world and what best way it could be if we can teach the same with help of flash cards and sample currency?

In today’s day and age, children rarely see cash change hands, they see only credit & debit cards. To equip my children with knowledge currencies in the world in play way methods , Ishva flash cards  of flags & currencies came for my rescue.

I was pleasantly surprised with my children grasping flags & currencies so fast and in no time, they were taking tests of each other. Such a lovely sight to see children spend productive, quality time away from screen.

Ishva flash cards are beautifully designed, laminated & compiled and act as an incredible versatile study tool, a must buy for all young children, pre nursery, activity center’s etc.

They also help your child engage in active recall exercise which teaches the brain to remember a term, concept, or process without context clues. Increases your general knowledge, memory retention power and concentration.

Kudos to Ishita & entire team for amazing efforts and enabling us to give a screen free extremely engaging activities for our children, which helps us develop passion for continuous learning & growth for them. Heartfelt gratitude to Ishita & team and want to summarize with famous Chinese proverb below.

If you are planning for a year, just sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; AND if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people!

Little Fingers: Blessing to all New & Working Moms

                            

 “Investing diligently in early childhood nutrition, is for sure, a foolproof strategy. The returns are incredibly high”

 This is extremely important and more than often overlooked. Nutritive feed & healthy eating habits in the formative years of everyone’s life is important due to its role in lowering morbidity and mortality, reducing the risks of chronic disease throughout their entire life span, and encouraging regular mental and physical development. During childhood, insufficient nutrition causes children to have less energy and less interest in learning, which negatively influences and adversely affect their cognitive development and academic performances.

 Malnutrition will also affect physical growth and maturation, thus affecting growth rate, body weight and ultimately, height.

As they say, “The best thing to do with good advice is to pass it on. It is never of any use if we keep only to oneself.”

So, today I would like to introduce to an “Exclusive Range of Branlacs & Raab premixes” from Little Fingers.

 An initiative of the mother, by mother and for the mothers. Nira Shah, founder of little fingers for sure has created these magical products using age old “Dadi ma ke nuskhe” with healthy twists and are approved and recommended by pediatricians and gynecologists.”

A must try for all new moms, an extraordinary range of baby food premixes made from finest ingredients providing incredible health benefits and sumptuous taste to your little one.

This is highly recommended for all the mothers (especially new moms/working moms) for the following reasons:

 (For Ages 0-3)

 • Extremely healthy (ingredients used such as wheat, oats, jaggery, multi grain, fruit extracts etc.)

• No Maida/ No Preservatives/No Salt/No Sugar. 100% natural and healthy.

• Trials Kits/Combos available

• All variants of Branlac’s & mixes are rich in protein, carbohydrates, fibers, good fats etc.

• Multiple Variants with goodness of health and taste (KHICHDI BRANLAC, CHOCOLATE OATS BRANLAC, CHEESE, OATS AND TOMATO BRANLAC) etc.

 (For Ages 3 & Above)

 Little Fingers are all children’s favorite. Their unique range of nutritious and delicious on the go, ready to eat cookies, crackers, and pan cakes which I bet are very hard to resist!

While I purchase for my children, it’s hard for me also to stay away from these super delicious healthy bites. I am so happy seeing my children munching on these healthy snacks, rich is fibers, vitamins, and minerals. It keeps their tummy full and let their mummy work. This is one thing I don’t feel guilty even if they eat in excess, more so because of its rich ingredients such as oats/flax seeds which was otherwise impossible for me to make them eat.

Strongly recommend to all health enthusiastic, doting mothers, friends and colleagues to at least try it once, power pack of healthy nutritious crackers and cookies with long shelf life from Little Fingers where they strongly believe in albert Einstein philosophy - “Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.”
