For our traditional Turkish toy project, we transformed recycled cardboard materials into a handmade Karagöz and Hacivat shadow puppet stage. We designed and decorated the theater using crayons, paper, and reused materials, showing creativity and respect for cultural heritage. Through this project, we learned about traditional Turkish toys and discovered how everyday materials can be reused to create something meaningful and fun.
