Guests of the RUSSIA EXPO were taught to create a family coat of arms and adaptive toys
Specialists from the Ulyanovsk region presented a workshop
"Family Coat of Arms" and taught how to create an adaptive toy at the
RUSSIA EXPO.
"Every family has its own traditions. Family Coat of
Arms is a set of heraldic symbols that personify the main features of the
family lineage. Our participants made a variety of family coats of arms,
showing their individuality and creativity. The works turned out bright,
unique, but all of them were united by the main family values: faith, love,
mutual understanding, care and devotion," shared her impressions
teacher-organizer, specialist of the Social Rehabilitation Center for Minors
"Scarlet Sails" Julia Khoptinskaya.
More than 100 people took part in the workshop on creating
their own family coat of arms: families from different regions of the country,
families with many children, young families, families of the SMO participants.
"Adaptive toy is a developmental toy for children.
Children will glue eyes, nose, sew buttons, button loops to the parts of the
toy themselves. And we will get a prefabricated adaptive toy made by our own
hands. In this way we will be able to study the color scheme, learn to fasten
buttons, determine where the nose and eyes, and most importantly - the smile,
are located," said Galina Zobkova, cultural organizer of the workshop, an
employee of the Cultural Center of Social Service "Sail of Hope" from
the Ulyanovsk region.
Adaptive toys develop thinking through tactile sensations.
For example, stretch toys, which have many long elements — arms, legs, ears,
which can be stretched out.
There are also sensory toys stuffed with cereal: they are
also designed to develop thinking through tactile sensations. Children are very
fond of soft interactive books with Velcro elements that can be detached and
moved to another place — it develops logic.
