    Very beautiful soft toys and the family too are talented. If concerned person gives them a helping hand they can open their own toy shop. These toys are safe and much better than the Chinese made toys, Lambai family all the best to you all.

    Beautiful Toys. Good comments by John Pinto,Why we have to buy chinese toys which are very dangerous to our children from health point of view. Don't ignore Mr.Bulsam's comment. Lambanis are very hardworking people. Government must help them.

    Very wonderful toy's I never thought there was so much talent in India. Why dont we give them some land make them settle permanently in Bantwal or some near by areas. Some organization can come forward and do the needful also they can market the good's. Our Govt will do nothing for these people.

    Such natural talents were not encouraged by our Govt. Don't let them migrate instead give them proper place and utilise their talents to teach toy making to the Khorga (ST) Community of our region. Create a distribution tie-up with the famous outlets without any middleman.
