In this study, it is aimed to transfer cultural values to students through designer toys using Anatolian motifs. In this context, it is planned to contribute to students' learning of cultural values and help them create their own artistic creations. Students are given examples consisting of motifs, characters, phenomena, and events that contain cultural values, and are asked to produce designer toys that reflect contemporary designs. The study also aims to examine existing examples in this field, identify problems, and develop suggestions. The reinterpretation and transfer of designer toys as a form of expression through cultural motifs are important for preserving these values. The limited number of studies on the use of traditional Anatolian motifs in designer toys emphasizes the significance of this topic. In this research, the literature review method was adopted. In the data collection process, the observation method, one of the qualitative research techniques, and the pretest-posttest method, one of the quantitative research techniques, were applied. SPSS software was used to analyze the collected data. It is thought that the study will contribute to academic studies in this field.
