Vladimir Putin sends greetings to finalists and participants of the second season of the All-Russian Contest "Native Toy"
The All-Russian Contest "Native Toy" brings together people of different ages and professions to create games and toys made with love for children. These products are designed to nurture children's artistic taste, foster respect for spiritual and moral values, and introduce them to the cultural legacy and traditions of Russia's peoples. On 19 October, a festival marking the second season of the contest and celebrating its results opened at the National Centre RUSSIA. President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin sent greetings to the festival's finalists and participants.
"This year's contest, dedicated to games and toys designed for preschool educational institutions, features a vibrant array of outstanding and truly unique creations. All of them have been made with love for children and are intended to develop their artistic taste and interest in creativity, foster respect for enduring spiritual and moral values, and introduce them to our rich historical and cultural legacy, as well as the distinctive traditions and customs of Russia's peoples. I am confident that the best games and toys will become a valuable resource for parents and educators and a source of joy for boys and girls," Vladimir Putin said.
The President added that this engaging and meaningful project strengthens its traditions year after year, once again bringing together enthusiastic, skilled and energetic people of all ages and professions, including young people and entire families.
The festival brings together children and parents, experts, manufacturers, game and toy developers, educators and industry leaders. Its centrepiece will be an exposition of Russian-made products developed for children, alongside a business programme focusing on the educational potential of toys, the preservation of traditions and support for Russian manufacturers. The event will conclude with a ceremony honouring the contest's winners.
