“URSHYQ” HANDICRAFT MODULAR TOY

Abstract

The “Urshyq” handicraft modular toy is a modern educational tool designed to preserve national cultural heritage while developing children’s cognitive, creative, and motor skills. This toy combines elements of traditional Kazakh handicrafts with a modular structure, allowing children to enhance their construction, analytical, and logical thinking abilities. During play, children assemble the structure of the spindle, gaining an understanding of the meaning and significance of the national artifact, increasing their interest in manual work, and developing aesthetic taste. Moreover, the modular toy contributes to the development of fine motor skills, improves spatial thinking, and fosters communicative skills through collaborative activities. The “Urshyq” handicraft toy can be effectively used in educational institutions, extracurricular learning clubs, and family education processes, serving as an efficient mechanism for instilling values-based education grounded in national heritage.
