At the Sunday market in Tumanyan, Abastan artists organized creative activities for local and visiting children. The market, centered around a cement table in the village square, became a space where artists engaged children in hands-on artistic experiences.

In this workshop, children crafted hand puppets using papier-mâché clay made from recycled paper. They also created movable dolls, which they played with throughout the evening, using them for role-playing in different areas of the square with their friends. Using old clothes, fabrics, wood, leaves, and any available materials from the village, the children learned how to make dolls from simple objects, transforming everyday items into imaginative creations.
