“Literacy is not the end of education nor even the beginning. It is only one of the means by which one can be educated. I would therefore begin the child’s education by teaching it a useful handicraft and enabling it to produce from the moment it begins its training”, Mahatma Gandhi.
Toys are not just for entertainment or recreation, but can also be used as a learning resource for the mental, physical, social, and emotional development of a child. Toys can open up and ignite the mind of a child in a way that can sharpen its critical thinking skills, analytical reasoning, and ability to grow into a self-regulating adult. Mittimate was established with a similar principle of promoting and implementing a way of learning that develops skills in children that are essential for the 21st century.
It is a brand that develops toys and games that make learning fun and entertaining while working on the holistic development of a child. Its puzzles teach children about their surroundings and impart general knowledge, board games, and brain teaser toys that challenge them to think critically, do-it-yourself and make-your-own model toys that encourage them to build innovatively.
Mittimate is a brand of Nageen Edtech, a sister company of Nageen Prakashan, one of the leading academic publishers in the country for more than five decades. Mittimate was established with the vision to manufacture products that contribute to the development of physical, intellectual, emotional, cognitive, and social abilities in children from the start and celebrate a winner in every one of them.
Its crosscurricular, multimodal approach to interactive learning allows an opportunity to develop children’s social skills, their ability to collaborate on a focused task, and to strategize and implement plans as a group. Play is fundamental to children’s ability to learn about the world and their place in it.
Hence, Mittimate’s toys, games, and DIY activities focus on the holistic development of children supporting essential skills development that can get left out of less pleasant learning activities.
