Your Impact
Etikoppaka toys, stationery, and other ornamental wooden crafts are made of soft Ankudu wood or Reppali Koyya wood. They are made using a toy making technique called 'turned wood lacquer craft,' which makes use of soft wood and natural dyes derived from seeds, lacquer, roots and leaves. The wood is turned on a lathe to form various shapes and is then applied with lacquers to seal and give a vibrant colour and attractive design. They are made by rural artisans of Etikoppaka region, Andhra Pradesh, with skills that have been passed down from one generation to the other.
These have a smooth finish with rounded edges, making them child-friendly. These toys with their removable parts are a great means to improve coordination skills of your tiny tots. They will easily attract kids and keep them entertained and engaged for long!
Through this purchase, you are choosing the best for you, your child, and the environment. You are also helping to revive a dying craft.
