Learning About Life Through Hands-On Discovery

An Effective Teaching Aid Aligned with NEP 2020, NCF & Balvatika

This Life Cycle Developmental Toy is a purposeful, hands-on learning resource designed to help young children understand growth, change, and natural processes through play. By allowing learners to observe, handle, and sequence each stage of a life cycle, the toy transforms abstract biological concepts into concrete, meaningful experiences.

Pedagogical Value & Curriculum Alignment

Aligned with NEP 2020
The toy strongly supports NEP 2020’s emphasis on experiential, play-based, and inquiry-driven learning. Children learn by doing—exploring cause and effect, asking questions, and constructing knowledge through interaction rather than rote memorization.

Aligned with NCF 2023 – Foundational Stage
In line with NCF 2023, this resource supports:

• Concept development through visual and tactile exploration

• Critical thinking and sequencing skills

• Observation, reasoning, and early scientific thinking
  It encourages integrated learning across cognitive, language, and environmental awareness domains.

Ideal for Balvatika Classrooms
Perfectly suited for Balvatika (ages 3–8), this toy supports joyful, activity-based learning. It helps children:

• Understand relationships between living organisms

• Build early environmental sensitivity and empathy

• Develop vocabulary through discussion and storytelling around life cycles
