This is the impression left on every visitor by the international exhibition-fair "Kids Expo: Everything for Children," concluding its work in the Turkmen capital.
The main visitors and beneficiaries of this large-scale event were the children themselves—from toddlers competing in crawling races to the cheers of their families, to older kids engaging in various creative activities in the art zone and exploring educational centers, modern technologies and sports.
Exhibitors included artisans showcasing handmade products for children made from wood, metal, textiles, clay and other materials. In addition to traditional souvenirs in the national style, they offered items related to characters from famous works and cartoons for children, dolls, jewelry, accessories, and kits designed to introduce children to the art of handmade crafts.
One of the exhibitors, Tatyana, explained that her craft kits stimulate children's imagination and creativity, develop fine motor skills, and provide an engaging and beneficial alternative to the widespread fascination with modern gadgets. Using the provided materials, a child can independently or with parental help create a gift for their mother or grandmother, strengthening family bonds and values.
The works of creative artists at "Kids Expo: Everything for Children" also reflect the theme of the year dedicated to the 300th anniversary of the classic poet Magtymguly Fragi. Visitors are drawn to unique glass artworks depicting the image and poems of the great poet and thinker.
