Description:TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present disclosure relates generally to educational appliances and more specifically to device that enables a child to learn interactively through images, videos and to hear audio sounds.

BACKGROUND
[0002] Background description includes information that may be useful in understanding the present invention. It is not an admission that any of the information provided herein is prior art or relevant to the presently claimed invention, or that any publication specifically or implicitly referenced is prior art.
[0003] Many scientific research are disclosing that the starting years of life shape a child’s future into adulthood. During these years, the development of cognitive skills, emotional well-being, social competence and physical and mental health builds a strong foundation for upcoming years. Although learning takes place throughout life, in early childhood, learning takes place at a high speed. Initial education years i.e. preschool fall in the middle of the early childhood period and lay the groundwork for success in school and beyond.
[0004] Learning through play is an important part of a child’s early development, as playing can help in developing brain of young children, and also develop their language and communication skills. Therefore, environments that promote play, exploration and hands-on learning increasing day by day. Schools are also teaching the children through play in initial classes. Play is considered children’s “work” through which children acquire knowledge and skills, also allowing children to engage independently and with others. Providing children with active and playful hands-on experiences help enrich learning.
[0005] Nowadays many devices are available in the market for interactive learning, which pronounce letter pressed by the child, also display the letter on the screen. However, these devices are not efficient, because for interactive learning related letters and videos are required. Also, no device is available in the market to teach the children energy resources, which are very useful in our daily lives.
[0006] Approximately 21 languages are spoken in India, and Hindi is our mother tongue. Children are studying in English medium school, so learning English properly, but they are unable to recognize Hindi letter properly. Therefore, we need a device which can teach Hindi alphabets to children in an entertaining way.
[0007] There is need to overcome above mentioned problem of prior art by bringing a solution that can enable children to learn energy resources in an interactive way. The solution can also enable the children to learn alphabets in one or more languages, especially Hindi alphabets.
