The Mobile Puppet and Toy Museum presents its collection to people who do not visit museums as it is not part of their cultural activities. The Mobile Museum team believes that in order to appeal to such people, they could take the museum to them.<\/p>\n

Therefore, on 21 June, about 50 children accompanied by their parents participated in the program designed by the museum. In the beginning, Mobarak, a traditional Iranian puppet, put on a show. Then, participants learned about the history and stories of Iranian toys and their functions along with traditional games that children played in the past. Following this, children played a game called \u201cString and Button\u201d, built a \u201cNokhodi\u201d doll and played with it.<\/p>\n

In the end, “Takam-chi”, a person who plays an effigy of a goat, came to the factory, singing traditional songs to children\u2019s delight.<\/p>\n

On this day, in the factory library, an exhibition was held of the book-related activities, arts and crafts of children of the factory workers. The exhibition was open for children and parents to visit.<\/p>\n
