Using a wide variety of raw materials of natural origin combined with other inputs, the skill and creativity of the artisan and minimal use of rustic tools and equipment, traditional tops, balls, yoyos and wooden carts, cardboard and cloth dolls and others of more recent creation, the “atrapanovios” and frogs of popotillo, whistles and clay figures, etc. are produced.

In Michoacán, the artisanal technique of wood turning has been perfected, with craftsmen involved in almost the entire production and finishing process.
The vibrant colors of these traditional toys invite you to “dance” a spinning top, slide a yoyo or snap the ball, allowing children and adults to enjoy and interact by giving them movement.

With materials such as clay, cloth and wood, the artisans give life to unique toys, infusing each one with their creativity, joy and a special vision of the world around us.
These objects are not only fun, but also small works of art that capture the essence of the culture and spirit of those who make them.

 

 

Dolls, puppets, carts and toys not only reflect everyday life, but also allow us to play with reality, imitating it or caricaturing it to take away its seriousness.
