Activity books contains interactive content such as games, puzzles, quizzes, pictures to colour and other elements that involve writing or drawing in the book itself. Soft fun-filled Magic Bath Books are loved by children. Cuddling up with these books while having bath brings playful pictures to life in full colour just by wetting the pages of these bath books.

Another great addition to toddlers’ shelf is set of Fragrance Books. Children will just rub their finger on the pictures and enjoy the sweet fragrance of their favourites.

“We are confident that these series would not only play a vital role in improving the children’s understanding and learning but also prove as a perfect boredom buster for kids,” concludes Chawla.
