Children’s Day is the one day that is all about them, so the gift should be something they actually want to play with. This is iTokri’s Children’s Day handmade gifts collection: handmade wooden toys, soft toys, board games, and stationery, made by artisans across India, safe, screen-free, and built to last. Children’s Day in India is on 14 November, so order early. Everything is in stock and ships from our base in Gwalior with free shipping over ₹10,000.
Children’s Day in India is celebrated on 14 November, the birthday of Jawaharlal Nehru, who loved children and was fondly called Chacha Nehru. The day honours children, their rights, and their happiness, and is marked in schools with games, events, and small gifts. A thoughtful, handmade gift is a lovely way to make a child feel celebrated on the day.
The best Children’s Day gift is one that keeps a child busy and away from a screen. Three kinds work well: a toy to play with, a game to play together, and handmade stationery they will use at school. All three are here in handmade, natural materials, so the gift is safe, long-lasting, and a little more special than a plastic toy off a shelf.
Classic, safe, and sturdy: Channapatna handmade wooden rattles and ring rattles at ₹790, a Banaras handpainted wooden rattle at ₹450, a handmade lacquered wooden spinning top (lattu) at ₹1,250, a wooden nesting tower at ₹700, and a handpainted gymnastics wooden toy at ₹450. Channapatna toys use safe natural lacquer, ideal for toddlers and young kids.

For boys and girls alike, the toys, games, and stationery here are all gender-neutral, so you are choosing by age and interest, not by labels.
Buying for a classroom? The small, affordable picks work best in multiples: neem wood pencil sets at ₹290, quilted pencil pouches from ₹350 to ₹690, handcrafted clipboards at ₹590, and small soft toys from ₹250. You can order several of the same item from the collection, and these handmade pieces feel far more special than standard bulk giveaways.
For large or bulk orders, iTokri’s wholesale and corporate-gifting options can help too. For bulk orders, do check iTokri.com.
Handmade, natural-material gifts are a better choice for kids for real reasons. Channapatna and Banaras wooden toys use safe, natural lacquer and no sharp plastic. They are sturdy enough to survive rough play and get passed down. They are screen-free, encouraging real play, imagination, and family time. And each one carries a bit of Indian craft, Channapatna from Karnataka, Kala Raksha’s traditional games from Kutch, so the gift teaches heritage along the way.
Beyond toys and stationery, iTokri has more for kids: kids’ clothing & kids clothes collection like shirts, kurtas, baby bibs, rompers, and nappies, kids’ rakhis, and handmade home decor for a child’s room. Shopping for other occasions? See the graduation gifts, corporate gifts, and the wider gifting collection. Add handmade paper or silk-potli gift wrapping with a note at checkout to make it feel like a real present.

Every gift here is handmade by artisans across India, Channapatna toy makers in Karnataka, Kala Raksha in Kutch, Dastkar Ranthambhore, Banaras wooden-toy painters, and kept in our own stock, so what you see is what arrives, and nothing is made to order. These are genuine handmade pieces in safe, natural materials, not mass plastic, so a Children’s Day gift bought this year lasts for years of play.
