Questions parents ask
Do I need to buy anything for these activities?
No. Every activity in the planner uses things a typical Indian home already has — katoris, dal, cloth, paper, your own voice. Nothing needs to be bought.
How much time does a day take?
Two short activities a day, roughly 15–25 minutes in total. You can do them any time, together or spread across the day.
Is this a syllabus my child must complete?
No. It is a menu of playful ideas matched to your child's age, in the spirit of NEP 2020's play-based approach. Skip, repeat or swap freely — following your child's interest matters more than finishing the list.
