Handmade Gifts- Sweetest Way to Make Gifting a Memorable Experience

A very significant aspect of our play is decided by our culture and regional factors. Toys form a very vital aspect of our play and the type of toys children play with are almost always decided by the adults around them. This is even more significant for very young children when their interaction is limited only to immediate family. The early formative years can have a great impact on them since they are interacting with a limited set of people.

Toys have a vital role to play during the growing years of an individual’s life. Almost always our parents are the ones who decide the kind of toys we start with. Some toys become more popular than others, with each generation reinforcing the previous one. In the wake of machine manufactured cheaper toys flooding the market, the values placed on traditional toys is losing ground. Prior to the emergence of a global village, toys were all about the local culture. Generations of children played with toys that were made locally and available locally such as clay and wooden toys for kids.

What can be a better way to provide children with a meaningful play time experience than traditional handcrafted toys like the Kondapalli and Channaptna toys which are not only free from sharp edges but also from any chemicals. The beauty of such toys lies in their simplicity and their personalized nature. They are a great buy for parents who want their children to connect with nature and start right from the basics.

Gifts such as toys for kids are all about the meanings we attach to them- thoughts, feelings and emotions that come to signify them. One of the first thoughts that cross our minds when we are shopping for gifts is the value they will come to hold for the receiver. Gifts can be simple and inexpensive but they should be memorable. They need not always be expensive in order to be loved or appreciated. Since India is a country with rich art and craft tradition, we have a history and culture of making handmade items such as accessories, clothing, toys and decor items which are made from locally available and biodegradable material. These are not only environment but also skin friendly gifts which can be used over and over again. Thus when it comes to such special gifts handmade gifts hold a special value for the receiver.
