    Collections are less but quality is good. If you are checking this in search of a review for toy making factory then go be clear. This is just factory outlet. You need to visit Channapatna Crafts for it. We had been to the store and then to factory. Mr. Srinivas provided the factory tour, it was short but informative. They did everything in front of us and demonstrated. They were kids friendly as well. For tour they would charge Rs.100 per head for adults. Kids would not be charged.

    Great place to buy toys to your toddlers. They have good intrigue toys which enables motor skills in the young ones. Though place is not so easily identifiable, it has been neatly maintained and tiny craft works and write ups make it a special place. Only the cost of some toys sounded too expensive for me. Otherwise it is a good place.

    Went here on Sunday...after confirmation but could not visit the factory. They have multiple managers who don't communicate among themselves. They have marketed themselves for factory visit (on chargeable basis) but very easily backout on their commitments. Very bad experience. This place is where they finish and pack the toys. We went around here and bought some toys. The staff here was friendly, prices are high comparatively.

    Bharath arts and crafts is a very interesting place to visit and see how Channapatna toys are toys are made. There is a factory tour available where they show you how the toys are intricately designed and painted. The toys are of good quality and made with vegetable based dyes. The toys are completely non toxic. I would suggest everyone to visit this beautiful factory and see this amazing art from Karnataka. The location of the factory and toy museum is a little inside and away from the main road so do ask for directions to reach this place.

    This shop cum museum is a soul place for channapatnam toys. It has a very small entrance gate on the busy street so it could get missed. It's a small shop on the ground floor and they have a workshop area on the first floor for polishing and painting. Main wood carving n toy making happens on another location. You can also learn and make your own wooden trinkets on any weekday. Sunday it's only open for visit and shop. The shop owner and shama are amazingly charming and polite people who will help you around with all queries and things. Prices are very reasonable and genuine.

    What an incredible treasure trove inside what looks like a very unassuming side shop! Too cool, and a must visit to anyone coming to the outskirts of Bangalore.

    A place to buy original channapatna toys. You can feel the quality difference between here and those shops on road. This is inside a small house but worth to buy toys here. On an average most toys may cost between 100 and 500.

    Excellent place to shop for channapatna toys...all new age characters are made in channapatna style. The use of pastel colours, fresh designs are amazing. Must visit and loads to buy.

    Near and clean place. Maximum trying to have it green in small place. Reason ale price and explaining the reason for each and every cost. If you buy sure you will have satisfaction. If you don't buy sure you will remember your visit. So if you visit anyways you will be out with good memories.

    We are lucky to visit their stores and workshop and the toy factory.. It was the sweetest experience ever I must say.. They explained and shower the demo of the entire toy making process with such enthusiasm! Mr Srinivas at the factory was incredible!! He made an entire toy within no time and gifted that to us!! Amazing people and worth the long drive from Bangalore! Five starts for their people friendly attitude ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    It's a nice place to visit and know about the process of toy making. I had visited Bharat Arts and Crafts in Channapatna Crafts Park for my study purpose. All the artisans were very polite and helped me in my study. I even got a toy as a gift from Mr. Srinivas.

    Chana Patna is a toy cluster in Karnataka and has its own GI Tag. Bharat arts and crafts is a 5th generation family who started this craft in the Tipu Sultan era. They have some cool stuff which one should check out. Bangles wooden Kids wooden toys made of organic paints Chess and other games Small miniature statues So they have elaborate wooden toys and do take orders for bulk purchases as well.

    An amazing place to buy toys for kids. They have items for home decor as well. We were given a tpur of the factory as well. Srinivas the floor supervisor and Rakshita gave the whole detailed tour of the place. Suchita was our mentor and showed us how to make a small basic toys. For a small fee you can leaen amd make your own toy as well. The craftsmanship of the toys was amazing. The basic wooden toys have been given a mordernized view. Since the toys are made for kids, the colours used were non toxic and natural. A must visit.

    This place is a factory outlet and where they just do the finishing painting. The prices are unreasonably high. We specifically asked for the factory visit & toy making visit and yet the owner directed us to this shop instead of Channapatna Crafts Park where they have the factory. The toy making experience in the factory was good and the staff there was helpful. But the person responsible in this shop for painting the toy after the factory visit did a very bad job and did not give proper finishing on the doll face (pic attached where the doll looks incomplete🙄).

    Amazing place, I visited around 5 shops today and no one can match the items in this shop. Carefully and artistically crafted items. Would recommended it to anyone who visit Channapatna

    Beautiful place to shop for wooden toys. They make toys for branded stores like shumee as well. Their quality is really good and you can also tell them to make custom wooden toys for you. They hand paint their toys and you can visit their factory which is some 3kms away or so.

    I have seen couple of Insta reels and went there with some expectations, firstly It was under renovation, staff were friendly. I don’t see wide range of collection, it was very limited and not that interesting to me. I want to visit manufacturing factory but it was closed so make sure call them and go if you want to visit factory. Overall average experience. I don’t find affordable range here. It’s pricey!!

    A must visit for toy lovers...Their collections are limited but has good ones with good finishing...on first floor you get to see the painting of toys

  • 5/5 sanjay k. 4 months ago on Google
    Been to this place. There were excellent details about Chennapatna toy making... We bought a few dolls. We visited their factory and had a factory tour. There is a provision to make your own dolls with guidance with additional charges, but we couldn't try as we didn't have the wait time for that.
