A single toy catches a child's attention for a limited period of time，but a box of items that allows a child to build their own toys will catch their imagination for years to come.This brilliant idea already exists in real product form，and it's called Toyi.
   Toyi is described as an eco-friendly creative building kit，and it recently won the well-known IF Design Award.It came from Istanbul，Turkish，where a young female designer named Elif Atmaca first came up with the idea for it when she wanted to help the kids living in disadvantaged areas.These children do not have access to the variety of interesting toys that wealthier children do.
   Toyi Atmaca's design allows children to transform what are around them into clever toys.It consists of sticks，junction parts，flexible connectors，toy body parts like feet，eyes，hands，and wheels that can be used to turn old water bottles，cups，boxes，towels，etc，into cute，clever，and unique playthings.This toy kit upcycles （升級利用） materials that would otherwise go to waste，turning a recycling bin into a treasure container.
   "Our initial target was to deliver Toyi kits to only disadvantaged children in Turkish，" Atmaca told the media.But during a research conducted with around 300 children，she realized that the restriction on being creative went beyond any boundary， "I saw that everything was planned and shaped by grown-ups，blocking the kids' imagination in a significant way，" said Atmaca.
   Atmaca concluded that each kid needed space where he or she could freely create.She explained the entire process should be left to kids' creativity，reminding teachers and all grown-ups that child-led play was an excellent way for children to develop lifelong skills.
   Toyi's creators are now considering distributing the kits to as many children as possible around the world through different international NGOs，Atmaca notes that for each Toyi kit sold out，they will also donate one kit to a disadvantaged child through different partnerships around the world.
