Apart from boardgames and comics, the air hockey set is a novel way to keep kids engaged
A few weeks ago, we stumbled upon the online book and play library, Playplus. As parents of nine- and 11-year-olds, we’ve spent over a decade (and more money than we’d like to admit) on books and toys that are outgrown quickly. Most of these wait in a cupboard for months until the day we find the heart to donate or discard them.
Playplus is the brainchild of childhood best friends Nishita Gala and Riddhi Thakkar. Gala, an educator with a background in Early Childhood Care and Education (ECCE), and Thakkar, a mother, always dreamed of creating something special for children. Initially envisioning a preschool or play area, their busy lives led them to think bigger. In April 2024, they conceived Playplus and by June 2024, it was up and running. When we first clicked on Playplus, their homepage’s vibrant, colourful design arrested our attention, and the kids were just as intrigued. It felt like opening the door to a world of endless creativity and imagination—without the hefty price tag that often comes with hobbies such as reading and LEGO.
