By #ADW2021 THEME: Toying with Design. Toys have an umbilical relationship with childhood, at the most elemental level. From teaching empathy, creative thinking and hand-eye coordination, the toy story is rich, diverse and offers its own genre of toys fashioned from a host of materials and creating a social impact. Toys transmit information about culture, technological developments, ideological structures and moral values of society at various given periods of time. Toys act as physical manifestations and intermediaries of cultural relations and contribute to the knowledge of design disciplines. Technological advances have created new opportunities and avenues for the toy and gaming industry.
