Tinni Sawhney invites us to reimagine play as something that belongs in every home, every village, and every heart. Through the story of Khel Konas, community-created play corners built with locally available materials, she shows how caregivers can create joyful spaces where children explore, imagine, and learn together. Drawing from experiences in rural Uttar Pradesh and Bihar, Tinni reflects on how play nurtures agency, creativity, empathy, and a deep connection to the world around us. She reminds us that investing in play during the early years lays the foundation for children to thrive throughout life.
