Specialists from the Ulyanovsk region at the RUSSIA EXPO presented a workshop "Family Coat of Arms" and taught how to create an adaptive toy.

"Every family has its own traditions. A 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 Special Military Operation participants.

"Adaptive toy is a developmental toy for children. The 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 how to fasten buttons, determine where the nose and eyes are located, and most importantly, where is the smile," said Galina Zobkova, cultural organizer of the masterclass, an employee of the Cultural Center for Social Services "Sail of Hope" from the Ulyanovsk region.
