What are ‘Desi Toys’?
Kids love toys. Just take a child into a toy store and he/ she will probably find a number of reasons to convince you to buy that toy!
We at Desi Toys believe that children learn by playing and toys are the instruments that allow them to discover the world they live in. As Maria Montessori, the famous educator, says "Play is the work of the child." In other words, toys do matter. The best toys engage a child’s senses, spark their imagination and encourage them to interact with others.
And that’s one reason why buying the right kind of toy becomes important for parents.
In this post, we want to highlight what are ‘Desi Toys’and what makes usspecial!

True to its name, Desi Toys is truly Indian and all our toys are rooted with Indian theme/craft/tradition. Desi Toys specialises in traditional toys like lagori, gilli danda, lattu, putt putt steam boat, the wooden kitchen set little children love to play with and so much more!
