Parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles and kiddy caregivers, we have good news for you. No, it’s not another season of Peppa Pig or Paw Patrol. We’re here to give you a super way to engage your kids, without plugging into a TV or the Internet. Say hello to Playboards, a Bangalore-based brand that creates eco-friendly and safe products that will ensure the little ones are creating something different, which can then be used over and over, to keep them continually entertained.
The DIY kits are made out of play boards, carefully cut and packed so the children can put it together, with minimal adult supervision. We got the play cottage and we love it! With window, door and roof panels, boards for the walls and even panels to lock it all in, it is also large enough to house two kids - a 7 year old and a 2 year old. The kids can then paint it as they choose and really amp up their creativity. Of course, there are add-ons like wires for curtains, fairy lights and paints too.
If your little humans are intrigued by animals, then the brand also has a dragon, Triceratops and a unicorn, in a similar format. Priced between INR 1,299 and INR 1,499. The play cottage, which is more complex, is priced at INR 3,500.
