Open-ended play is free-form and flexible, allowing children to direct activities without rules or instructions. Unlike closed-ended or structured play, there is no right or wrong way. Children are free to make their own decisions, express their creativity, and use their imagination. Open-ended play supports a child’s holistic development by fostering imagination, creativity, and logical thinking by allowing children to explore and experiment without specific goals or rules.
Tiny Explorer – Creating Cosy Corners For Your Little Ones and Encouraging Playtime Without Screens
Remember the joy of playing “ghar ghar” (house-house) during your childhood? The enchantment of pretend play where you could be anyone and create imaginative worlds? Tiny Explorer, reignites that magical experience with their unique product, the Cosmos Play Couch.
In a world filled with technological distractions, Tiny Explorer understands the importance of playtime that stimulates children’s creativity and nurtures their imagination. Recognizing the necessity of developing a child-appropriate play environment indoors, Swaty Shah conceived the idea of the Cosmos Play Couch as a unique solution to offer endless play possibilities that never grow repetitive.
Launched in November 2021 by Swaty & Chintan Shah, the brand offers modular & portable play couches that can be converted into different configurations. From a simple, restful setup to a fun-filled play session, tea-time gossip, or creating structures, their low-seating furniture called Cosmos Play Couch is a versatile piece of revolutionary furniture. With this Play Couch, the child can be a brave sailor exploring uncharted waters one day and a chef cooking up imaginary culinary delights on the other. They can pretend to climb towering mountains or embark on thrilling adventures in the depths of a jungle. With its remarkable versatility, a single set can transform into more than 100 formations, allowing the child’s imagination to soar without any limits. Designed for both children and adults, it offers unparalleled comfort and serves multiple purposes, including playdates, movie nights, and quality family time. With its ability to transform into anything, this extraordinary play couch accommodates various activities like jumping, climbing, rolling, and relaxation. Embrace the revolutionary Cosmos Play Couch and witness any corner of your home transform into a haven of comfort, inspiring endless play possibilities.
Adding feathers to their lateral thinking approach, Tiny Explorer has been incubated in NSRCEL at IIM Bangalore and co-incubated at RIIDL, Mumbai. Their unique designs have been granted registration under the Intellectual Property Act of India. Talking about the onset of her journey, Swaty shared, “When my daughter was born in 2019, I realized the importance of outdoor play for children’s growth and development. However, the pandemic confined everyone to their homes, limiting outdoor activities. Excessive screen time became the norm, hindering children’s social, mental, and physical well-being. Even after the pandemic I discovered a lack of outdoor play in urban cities due to working parents or weather and safety concerns that prevented children from going outdoors. Consequently, there was an over-dependence on screen time to engage children. Determined to provide a unique and functional toy, I conceptualized the idea of the Cosmos Play Couch. Tiny Explorer’s play couches not only bring the comfort element but add to cognitive skills such as critical thinking, decision-making, and spatial awareness. It also aids in children’s social and emotional development as they practice empathy and self-regulation while interacting with others in their surroundings. Today, it has become a tangible product, bringing joy and imaginative play to countless children.”
To make these innovative play couches accessible to all, Tiny Explorer primarily sells them through their website, https://tinyexplorer.in. Additionally, they are available on popular platforms such as Amazon and The Nestery. Customers can also connect with the brand through their active social media presence on Instagram and Facebook. With over 50 satisfied clients across India and a growing number of repeat orders, Tiny Explorer has also catered to preschools, Montessori schools, and hotels with kids’ play areas.
The journey doesn’t end here for Tiny Explorer. Their vision extends far beyond the Cosmos Play Couches. The brand aspires to build an ecosystem of screen-free play that nurtures children’s imagination and creativity. They continuously strive to expand their product range with novel ideas that inspire children to embark on exciting adventures through open-ended play.
