“The greatest development is achieved during the first years of life, and therefore it is then that the greatest care should be taken. If this is done, then the child does not become a burden; he will reveal himself as the greatest marvel of nature.” – Maria Montessori
We are parents of two precious kids, a boy and a girl. When our son was just over two years old, we stumbled upon a Montessori Group on a social media platform. The concept of Montessori approach was so intriguing that we decided to move my son from a traditional school to a Montessori house.
When we were expecting our daughter, we knew right from the start that the Montessori approach would be the best as it is not just a way of education but a lifestyle for the child.
The concept of “Montessori from birth” fascinated us. The more we read, the more we learnt about the development stages of a child. We followed various blogs and started making the newborn Montessori mobiles ourselves. However, it was extremely time consuming and difficult task at hand.
The Montessori Method also emphasizes on using natural materials that are safe and enjoyable, while giving the child an endless opportunity to explore. The tactile sensation the child has while running his/her hands on a wooden object is something amazing. Wooden toys also present a direct connection to the natural world for children.
But, as and when we introduced these developmental toys in the process, procuring the child safe toys was a costly affair. We ended up paying an exuberant amount for it as we had to import most of them, which limited the options for us. Also there were not many options available in India.
This is when we decided to venture into the world of wooden toys and launch THASVI, our third baby!
With months of research, leaving no stone unturned, and a determination to provide unique hand-crafted wooden toys that are completely child safe and accessible to all – THASVI is now up and running, hoping to bring joy and happiness into many homes.
Mission
We at Thasvi are committed to providing eco friendly, safe and high quality toys which nurture creativity and imagination in children, all the while being socially and environmentally responsible. We believe in simplicity and that a child’s intellectual, emotional, social and physical development happens in the best possible way, when the child is surrounded by nature.
Vision
- To be the most loved toy store that puts a never ending smile on your little one’s face.
- To showcase the skills of artisans from rural India and give them their due credit.
- To see a resurgence in wooden toys that lasts for generations.
- To continue to be inspired by Dr Maria Montessori’s principles.
