Abstract

Since our environments and way of life are in danger due to climate change, global warming, and the depletion of natural resources, it is generally acknowledged that we must embrace a sustainable way of living. Sustainability ideas expand upon local manufacture, recycling, reusing, and slow fashion. Traditional crafts are very much based on these ideas. Examples of how traditional crafts can aid in the shift to a more resilient and sustainable way of life are provided in the paper. The development of the rural economy is positively impacted by the distinctiveness, inventiveness, and creativity that characterize rural crafts. Although the craft has its share of problems with Chinese, cheap, and other modern toys but the channapatna toy continues to be a symbol of tradition and Indian excellence. Channapatna toys manufacture goes back at least 200 years according to most accounts and it has been traced to the era of Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan in the 18th century. This paper explores toy making process and Eco eco-friendly materials used in the production of toys and alsoand clarifies Innovation made in form, shape, and colour application still by maintaining traditional touch. Few examples alsoare also covered in this research paper, showing innovative use of these toys in Interior designing.
