Filled with fun and creativity, the initiative lets children explore a new world in the toy industry while bringing joy to the less fortunate.

Children can enjoy making their favorite toy by themselves, following specific steps with the help of guides available at the festival. To make a new toy, children first donate a preloved toy in a designated box and begin the process of making a new toy through available machines.
