Toy Trunk

In today’s digital age, screens dominate children’s lives, impacting attention, creativity, and physical play. As mothers and architects, we—Priyanka and Minu—wanted something more: hands-on, meaningful play rooted in India’s artisanal heritage. With advanced degrees in Craft & Technology and Sustainability, our research on dying crafts, presented at IIT Mumbai ICORD Conference, highlighted the need to preserve traditional skills. This inspired Toy Trunk, where childhood development meets cultural preservation. Each toy is handmade with sustainable materials, natural colors, and thoughtful design, fostering cognitive, emotional, and motor growth. Collaborating with local artisans, we provide livelihoods and skill development, creating play experiences that celebrate creativity, sustainability, and heritage.
