The exhibition turned out to be so popular that everyone did not have time to visit it. And the creative team had to ask the All-Russian Museum of Decorative, Applied and Folk Art to extend its work. As a result, the Zabavushka Game Exhibition was extended for a month, but the visit was already on tickets. However, the flow of visitors from this did not decrease.

Disrupted thyroid function led to long-term treatment. Yes, now this treatment will be permanent. Everything would be fine, but as a result, my hair began to fall out. I had to visit another trichologist at the NovaMediko clinic in order to understand what to do about it. The doctor recommended me to purchase the Hairegen device, which has long been used in Israeli clinics to treat various hair problems. I ordered it and when I received it, I was surprised at how easy it was to use. But all this can be done at home, for five minutes a day. The only thing is that it takes four months. But it's worth it, I must tell you.

Husband and son visit a hairdresser. Haircuts often change, but always flawless and very to the face. I go for treatments depending on the availability of time. I like that even in a few minutes, experts help to make the face fresh and rested. And if I spend a little more time, then I can put my nails in order.

Video about the museum of folk toys "Zabavushka", reportage:

Toys are not just child's play. The psycho-emotional state and moral development of a person not least depend on what things surrounded him in childhood. All kids, and most adults, love good toys, so almost everyone will be interested in visiting the Zabavushka folk toy museum.

In each region of Russia there are original crafts, including the manufacture of toys for children. A traditional toy is a product of decorative and national creativity, therefore, by the appearance and design of toys, you can get the first idea of ​​​​the culture and life of the inhabitants of various regions.

Today, traditional toys are rarely seen in children's rooms. In our creation, these gizmos are more associated with souvenirs. The popular Zabavushka Museum in Moscow aims to reverse the prevailing notion and show that traditional toys are designed specifically for play. That is why most of the exhibits are allowed to be touched and turned in hands.

Museum tours here are held in an interactive game form, because children are unlikely to be interested in the monotonous narration of the guide. During the inspection of the exposition, children will be offered to play with the presented exhibits and listen to a really fascinating story about the history of the fishery.

Story

The museum is still very young, its foundations were laid in 1998, thanks to the actions of the Society of Folk Heritage Connoisseurs. The beginning of the museum collection was laid by a charity exhibition, which presented samples of traditional toys, held in the halls of the Museum of Folk and Applied Arts. The event aroused great interest, during its work, everyone could not see the exposition. Therefore, it was decided to extend the opening hours of the exhibition. And, despite the fact that the entrance was made paid, the number of visitors did not decrease.

To give people the opportunity to view the exhibition at any time, it was decided to make the work permanent. Every year the collection was replenished with new samples of toys, and today the collection includes more than 5 thousand exhibits. The main audience for the exposition is children aged 5 years and over.

Programs

The affectionate name Zabavushka Museum of Russian folk toys expresses the attitude of the people to the toy. Visitors can see about 2 thousand exhibits representing samples of 45 different traditional crafts. Materials for the manufacture of toys are diverse - clay, straw, shreds, birch bark. Even the photo shows how bright and diverse the exhibits are on display.

Tourists are offered two programs. The first is devoted to clay toys, the second - to creations from patches and wood.

The main principle of the tour dedicated to clay crafts is to teach children in the process of playing. Visitors will be shown a master class on making toys from clay, collective games will be held - creative and educational. Children will be introduced to traditional patterns for painting. Each visitor will be offered to decorate the toy with a painting on his own, giving him complete freedom and not limiting his imagination in any way.

Chamber and extremely interesting is the tour, in which visitors are introduced to toys made of wood and sewn from scraps. Tourists will be shown what toys village children used to play with in past centuries. They will explain what secrets are kept in themselves by primitive-looking wooden bears and dolls made of straw, and they will tell you why 12 pieces of swaddling dolls were always kept in the space behind the stove in every peasant family. As well as other useful and interesting information related to folk crafts and customs.

Children during the tour will not only listen to the guide, but will also be able to play. Start the spinning top, try how Bogorodsk articulated toys move, etc. Tourists will be offered to make a patchwork amulet doll and paint a wooden whistle on their own.

In addition, the Zabavushka clay toy museum regularly holds various master classes, in which not only children, but also adults take part with pleasure.
