How can toys be a medium of communication between the child and the world of knowledge?Can toys ever replace textbook learning? Can they make it more interesting or engaging? What can it offer that a book cannot? How would a toy institution contribute to making learning through play? Can an institution which harbours young minds start a revolutionary new pedagogy through the tools of play ? How would an experience of being in a place where new opportunities and inventions happen feel like? How can the toys which are made in the institution keeping in mind the textbook syllabus of the children be made? What would be the different agencies which will come into picture to implement such a reform? How would it be beneficial for the country’s stand in global education and learning system?
