The Art and Design of Online Schooling – how quality digital content can improve learning outcomes!

Kartee has been working closely with various schools in Pune for the past few years. During the pandemic, we learned from the schools that they were struggling to generate quality digital content as that was something they had no expertise in.

Most teachers were typing out content from textbooks and pasting images to go with it. This was true of many old and reputed schools as well. This kind of online material is, simply put, boring. And with no physical engagement, no body language cues from the teacher, and plenty of other distractions in their own rooms, most kids tuned out, much to the dismay of their teachers and their parents.

Kartee’s Atmanirbhar Story

The quarantine period has proved that digital spaces won’t shrink the need for toys with rise in sales of board games and puzzles. Parents resorted to these over virtual ones, to engage with their little ones during the country-wide lockdown. The physical toy will always be relevant.

We at Kartee, are focusing on developing world-class products in the kids’ sector. PM Modi stressed upon being ‘Atmanirbhar’. And in his Mann ki Baat, he discussed regarding Made in India toys and the industry scope, especially for startups. Kartee is one such homegrown brand. We specialize in designs for children that are beautifully finished and a joy to handle.

And Kartee’s India Map puzzle is one such product. Made of pinewood, the quality is world-class and the size is large enough for multiple children to come together and have fun with it. And while we may think we know our country well, at such a large scale, it has the capacity to perplex and challenge adults too! 🙂 

The puzzle’s beauty lies in the size, colour,texture and feel of its hand-polished wood pieces. It is truly a delight for kids and adults.

Kartee is here to create toys that are original, high-quality, India-made and fun! This is what our DNA is made of! So, let’s be vocal for local. And be ‘Atmanirbhar’!

What are you reading?

Parents often talk about all the time they didn’t spend watching TV. Truth is there really wasn’t anything to watch if you were growing up in the 80s. There was plenty of time to get bored too. But if you loved books and loved to read, time would pass pleasantly enough.

Puzzles

Puzzles are a great way to relax and yet be challenged. You can go at your own pace, you don’t need a ‘partner’ and you can pick as tough a challenge as you feel like. They are good to sit with inside on a rainy day.

Kartee has designed an India Map puzzle that is 5 feet by 4 feet in size. Yes, it’s huge. But then India is huge too! All the pieces are made of pine wood veneer and are beautiful to touch and handle. We think we know the map quite well, but I promise you, it’s going to take quite a few attempts before you can get it all perfect. But that’s the fun of it right? The thrill of wondering how to complete it.
