The 7th National Toy Festival, held in Tehran, the capital of Iran, has started. Thousands of toys for children were exhibited at the festival hosted by the Institute for the Intellectual Development of Children and Youth. Dolls and toy models, action toys and characters, toys for babies and children under the age of 3, puzzles and card games, children’s tools and equipment, educational toys, outdoor toys and smart toys took place in the festival, which attracted great interest from Iranians. While the children who attended the toy festival with their families had fun to the fullest, this year’s festival featured toys that support children’s cognitive development. Chess, mind and puzzle games and toys aimed at increasing children’s hand skills attracted great attention.
Mariam Khamoshi, who attended the festival held in Tehran with her child, said, “We were very pleased with the festival. We saw the newly released toys here. I was surprised to see that local companies produce such beautiful toys.” Meryem Khamoshi’s daughter, who said she was happy to attend the festival, said, “I loved all the toys. There was not one toy that I didn’t like. I loved them all.”
The National Toy Festival will host its visitors until April 17.
