"My son’s 5th birthday was approaching and I was looking to buy him something special, different from the regular cars and toys that children usually get as gifts. When I got to know about the Travel Diary by LitJoys just a day before his birthday, I had a feeling he would love it as he is a very curious and creative child. I bought the one on Japan to surprise him. What my son loves the most about the Travel Diary is the craft work. I think he finds it immensely fascinating! Each and every page that we create is HIS expression. There is no template that forces him to think or present his thoughts in a certain way. Through the Travel Diary we both get a chance to relive our travel memories and have some very interesting conversations, which we probably missed while we were there last year! It gives him an opportunity to ask all sort of interesting questions and discuss larger life concepts (why is monkey in a cage in a zoo and not on the trees?). I love the fact that it provides me an opportunity to have those constructive and creative conversations with my child, which are so rare in our faced paced lives! The beauty of making the diary is that it provides a very engaging medium to all of us to spend time together as a family. I cannot delegate this to anyone else, except my own husband maybe, and that’s something that I am very happy about 🙂" - Priyanka Jaitly Babbar, mother of a 5 year old Read more about our experience of making the Travel Diary at https://litjoys.com/2017/06/22/clean-roads-bullet-trains-and-cherry-blossoms-the-diary-that-allowed-me-to-have-rare-creative-constructive-conversations-with-my-son/ #lovetotravel #positiveparenting #family #earlychildhoodeducation Orange is a colour that usually one associates with fall colours that we do not have the privilege of viewing in India. But for me and my little one it has become the colour that brings joy to our Indian summer as we rediscover our love for nature while admiring the beautiful orange flowers of Gulmohar tree lining up the streets and parks of our city and get inspired to redesign the nature book on our favourite tree. Read more of the story at our blog litjoys.com #lovefornature #Indiansummer #earlychildhoodlearning #litjoys While Julia Donaldson's Gruffalo was one of the first few books I bought for my son, it is the 'Over in Australia' & 'We all Went on Safari' books on animals and birds in Australia & Tanzania that my little one and I enjoy co-reading night after night. No I was not recommended these books by another parent, neither did I stumble upon them on any social media reading group or a bookstore in India. I discovered them online while doing research for designing Travel Diaries on these countries. My 2.9 month old has learnt to patiently count from 1 to 10 and read these numbers thanks to the beautiful illustrations and simple, yet powerful, counting story, in both these books. He enjoys me singing the lyrical text of the books over and over again. But the greatest joy of reading these books comes in learning about so many unique animals and birds, which neither I nor he would have known about in this lifetime. While these books motivate us to travel to Australia and Tanzania soon, they also break the myth that the best animals of the world reside in South Africa! What books have you self discovered that you enjoy reading with your little ones? #lovetotravel #lovetoread #litjoys #positiveparenting #earlychildhoodlearning #joysofselfdiscovery GP for Golden Parakeet, GP for Giant Panda, GP for Gurgaon Police - The Scrabble of Words. As we learn about national bird and animal of two countries and common alphabets ( G & P), we also aspire to go back to our favourite childhood game - Scrabble. Read more about the story at our blog litjoys.com. #earlychildhoodreading #earlychildhoodeducation #litjoys #toddlerjoy Child when I take you to places and start seeing the world through your eyes, I realise there is joy in walking hand in hand down the bridge and spotting a new bird, in riding on a bus and observing the colours of buildings and flags, in ferrying on a boat and counting the church towers in the skyline, in climbing up and down the stairs and animal figures of monuments and statues, in collecting coins and throwing them in a fountain to make a wish, in watching your face as you taste new food, in learning to say names of new cities and words in a foreign language together. More joy than in a perfect photo with a monument. Just got back from a 10 day vacation with my toddler where we experienced many such little moments of joy (Lit Joys) and made beautiful travel memories. If you want to record your travel memories or discover a new country to travel to in future, you can build your own travel tale and co-create a Travel Diary on a country of your choice with your child. Age group - 3 to 8 years. Shipping in Delhi NCR and other Indian cities. Limited copies available. DM to see our list of selected countries and place an order. #traveldiaries #lovetotravel #creative #earlychildhoodeducation #positiveparenting #bookmaking #travelbook On a hot Sunday morning in Gurgaon, when the temperatures were soaring more than 43 degrees celsius, most fathers, mothers, and their little kids showed up early morning to learn about different countries and cultures and create a travel diary of a country of their choice. While the kids enjoyed matching the souvenir to the country game, parents felt proud in guessing national symbols of different countries. It was the day of the mothers (14th May), but it seemed that fathers bonded as much, if not more, while co-creating travel diaries with their little ones. Here are some lit joys moments for you! If you want to experience the joy of co-creating a travel diary with your child this summer, please drop an email at litjoys@gmail.com to order a copy of a country of choice from our list of selected countries. https://litjoys.com/2017/04/26/travel-diary/ #travelbooks #lovetotravel #read #bookmaking #earlychildhoodeducation #positiveparenting #litjoys
