The craft of doll and toy making has been part of Rajasthan’s culture for generations. Artisans create wooden toys, cloth dolls, clay figurines, puppets, and decorative items that reflect local traditions, folklore, and festivals. This art form is not only creative but also emotionally enriching and culturally significant.
SVSDB provides training in safe toy design, carving, stitching, painting, assembling, finishing, and quality standards. Trainees learn to use child-safe materials, eco-friendly colors, and modern toy-making tools while preserving the artistic value of traditional dolls and puppets.
The demand for Indian handmade toys has risen significantly with the promotion of "Vocal for Local" and eco-friendly products. Artisans can sell toys in exhibitions, handicraft fairs, online marketplaces, museum stores, and tourism hubs. SVSDB also teaches packaging, pricing, storytelling-based branding, and digital promotion.
This trade helps preserve cultural heritage while providing artisans with sustainable income opportunities in a growing craft market.
