NEW DELHI: Highlighting the salient features of 'Indian toys', Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday said that Indian toys not only entertain children but also help kids initiate into the world of scientific theories.
" Lattu (spinning top) teaches us gravity and balance, gullel (slingshot) teaches us potential and kinetic energy," said PM Modi inaugurating the virtual India Toy Fair 2021 via video conference.
The PM said that a jhunjhuna (rattle) helps a newborn feel the circular motion.
"Puzzle toys develop strategic thinking and problem-solving. Similarly, newborns begin to feel the circular movement by playing with 'jhunjhuna'," said the PM.
Interacting with toymakers from across the country, the PM said that the display of toys reminds him of his childhood days.
