Toy-Making Workshop

Our toy-making workshops stimulate creativity, innovation and confidence, as we empower the children to make their own toys and learn to create something new and interesting from scratch. Moreover, family members bond together through engaging and exciting activities. We would encourage grandparents to join too. After all, grandparents belong to a generation with no or very limited collection of pre-made toys. Throughout this activity they may share their memories, experiences and skills with the grandchildren, which will give our children further appreciation of how the past generations lived childhood days. Hooshvar Foundation’s toy-making workshops are designed by Parsa Houshvar, a registered occupational therapist with a master’s degree. He has over ten years of experience in play therapy with children. Audience Workshop is designed for children aged 5 to 11. Each child should be accompanied by up to two adults.
