For a young child, all work is play and all play is work. Children between the ages of 0 to 7 do not distinguish between work and play. Hence, everything they touch, feel and play with are educational in some form or the other. Skola believes that structured toys that meet specific learning objective go a long way in developing skills in the child that will stay with them for life which the ordinary toys do not achieve. Hence, the design of the toys is such that they have specific learning objective built into them and the activities we do with them. The toy is attractive and fun in its design elements still meeting the specific learning objectives they are meant to achieve.
