Victory Tree

Is it possible to forget how parents brought the Christmas tree and put it on the balcony so that it would not crumble ahead of time. And we, through the frozen windows, admired her. Then the day came when the Christmas tree was brought into the house, boxes and boxes with New Year"s toys were taken out of the bins, and the sacrament began.
We looked at each, hung and outweighed. And, of course, those toys that we did with our own hands were hoisted to the very honorable place. And how the heart died down with delight, if the guests noticed and praised your creation.
Today we can give our children, friends, students these magical minutes, which in the future will become their warmest memories. But as? Now we will tell you.
There is an amazing place in Moscow. This is the Center for Crafts "Family Traditions", in which the manufactory of the Moscow toy ”was created. This is the only place in Russia that is engaged in the revival of a traditional cotton toy at a professional level. In the manufacture of such toys, only environmentally friendly materials are used.
