With school indefinitely on break, it can be difficult to know where and how to map out your infants learning. Tickle Right offers educational classes focused on building skills catered to "right brain" aka creative thinking, as traditional Indian education systems, focuses more heavily on "left brain" or analytical thinking in young children. Learn how to unleash your child's creative potential at a developmental stage with Tickle Right's fun classes. 

Customised Books

Online classes, Activities, Kids, Workshops, recommendation

With more and more children having access to video based learning and games at a young age, reading can be challenging to incorporate into their routine. Static reading rests the eyes, builds the imagination and focuses attention, not just in children but also in adults. With 'Booky Boo' customise and adapt your child's favourite story and turn them into the protagonist. Create personalised narratives, games and interactive stories where your child can see themselves as a capable warrior, boosting self esteem and increasing engagement. Learn more here.
