Children

Why Do We Need a Toy/ Game Library Particularly in Villages? For a majority of India’s child population, quality toys remain a pie –in- the- sky. The poor standard of living of the general populace has imposed unnatural curbs on the child’s playtime, curbing its most natural means of discovery, communication and expression.Worse still, whatever toys/ games are grudgingly bought for the kids often constitute an unwise choice, not designed to keep up with the child’s widening horizon of knowledge and the simmering range of abilities. The common tendency of parents is to simply go to a toy shop, pick up something handy and cheap, and give it to their kid without bothering to find out whether it is suited to the age group to which the child belongs. More often than not, it is a spur of the moment decision a mere detraction the choice dictated by the price, availability and fun value. The intellectual level of the child, its aptitudes and inclinations, are never taken into account. The potential force of toys / games in moulding the character and temperament of the young ones never features in the scheme of things.The libraries/ play centres set up by CHILDREN TOY FOUNDATION fight against this general tendency: of treating toys/ games as insignificant things, not worth more than a passing thought. The FOUNDATION believes in catching them young the young minds bubbling with enthusiasm for a variety of subjects and initiating natural development of their talents. On its own and through other lovers of toys/ games the FOUNDATION has been busy opening exciting opportunities to discover and experiment within today’s rapidly changing worlds of science, engineering, sports, arts, crafts, etc., from an early age. The toys choice today could decide the child’s tomorrow.The FOUNDATION believes that today’s children are tomorrow’s pillars of strength; and hence anything done for them is never adequate enough.This year as a short time goal we want to set up 3 libraries each in villages of Maharashtra and Gujrat.Each library will cost 1.25 lacs which will include purchase of toys, transportation, training and 1-year supervision and training of the staff of the school in which library will be set up to make it self-sufficient

Children Toy Foundation supported by Hiren Mehta

We have to buy new games to study and introduce to various projects. Also introduce new ways to play a game for excitement and change to the children to be tempted to play.Also we hold interschool ,inter class and family contest which is on the spot to test grasping power and on the spot planning and judging capacities of children. Also it tests the abilities of our teacher to reach out to new children . Purchase new games . Appoint a team to study new and old games and find out how effective and interesting the games could be in our projects. The team will play and also make some children play and study the impact on them. We will hold inter class, inter school contests . We want to see that we develop new ideas of playing old games also to make them more interesting and exciting for children to play and benefit from them in this era of video games.

Children Toy Foundation (CTF) is the only institute of its kind working for the right of the child to play since 1982.CTF has helped and guided to set up 393 toy/game libraries covering 13 states and 3 territories in schools, orphanages, women homes, senior citizen homes, NGOs hospitals, with institutions and even in jails and deserts. CTF has 2 static Khelvigyan centers and 4 mobile vans through which the organization serves 33 municipal schools, 2 orphanages,4 hospitals and at Allahabad 20 village schools. About 6-7 thousand children benefit directly from the projects.We want to educate children beyond reading and writing. We want them to grow into thinking citizens.Children get to play video-games and sports like cricket, football.If you change the way you look at games (take to mind, educational, family board games) and it changes the way you look at PLAY. Mind games teach them to look at a situation from all directions. Play in the family will be very useful for family bonding and socialization.Children and pre-adolescents benefit from brain games that encourage them to actually use their brains, for instance, memory games in which the children try to turn over one card at a time and match the cards. These games have been around for years, but are still beneficial. Puzzles, card games, and even riddles can be equally valuable.There’s a lot happening during playtime. Little ones are lifting, dropping, looking, pouring, bouncing, hiding, building, knocking down, and more. Children are busy when they’re playing. And, more than that, they are learning. They are learning key scientific concepts, such as what sinks and floats; mathematical concepts, including how to balance blocks to build a tower; and literacy skills, such as trying out new vocabulary or storytelling skills as children “act out” different roles.
