Imagine kids in the Indus Valley Civilization—5,000 years ago—playing with handmade toys, etching letters on seals, and learning in community hubs. No temples or palaces, but stunning cities like Mohenjo-Daro scream organized life. Did they have schools? Artifacts say... maybe![Main Speculation - Curious, building excitement]
First, toys! Excavations unearthed terracotta whistles, animal figurines, dice, and mini-carts from Lothal and Harappa. These weren't random junk—kids as young as 3 gripped wheeled toys, sparking engineering smarts. Picture group play in vast courtyards, teaching sharing and creativity. Community child-rearing? Massive houses with no family walls suggest kids roamed freely, raised by the neighborhood.Seals as writing tools? Over 4,000 Indus script stamps—tiny, etched with symbols. Kids likely practiced on soft clay, like modern slates. Uniform bricks and grids hint at math lessons: measuring, trading beads. Weight sets found in homes? Early commerce classes!No "school" buildings, but public baths and granaries doubled as learning spots. Women-led? Figurines show moms with kids—collective education for all.[Close - Wonder-filled]
