Eco-friendly cloth toys launched in Channapatna as alternative to wooden and plastic toys
Natural‑coloured, hand‑made fabric toys have been introduced in Channapatna to offer a sustainable alternative to traditional wooden dolls and plastic toys during festivals.
Channapatna, Karnataka, has seen the market introduction of hand‑made, natural‑coloured cloth toys crafted from food‑grain based materials. The launch coincides with the festive season, when demand for traditional toys typically rises.
The new toys are produced using eco‑friendly fabrics dyed with natural colours, providing a biodegradable alternative to both the iconic wooden dolls of Channapatna and the increasingly harmful plastic toys that dominate the market.
Local artisans and small‑scale manufacturers are behind the initiative, aiming to curb plastic waste while preserving the region’s reputation for quality handcrafted toys. By offering a sustainable option, the project seeks to support the local economy and promote environmentally responsible gifting during celebrations.
The products have been made available in local retail outlets and online platforms, targeting families looking for safe, sustainable play items for children during upcoming festivals.
