Söke’s Brand ChildGen Opens Turkey’s First Walkable Play-Dough Factory
Forex - ChildGen, a local play dough brand that acquired 60% of Söke in 2023, opens Turkey's first walkable play dough factory, offering children an educational and fun experience. Founded by Buse Öngen, ChildGen produces natural play dough and toys and has signed a new investment to boost children's imagination. The factory in Ataşehir, Istanbul, has been transformed into Turkey's first walkable play dough factory.
The factory offers an educational and entertaining experience for children. Events held at ChildGen's factory take place through school organizations. During these events, children first visit the factory's production facility, where they learn how play dough made from natural ingredients is produced. Following the factory tour, the Creative Dough Workshop begins, allowing children to showcase their imagination and shape their own play dough. This process not only enhances children's fine motor skills but also creates an enjoyable activity environment.
Buse Öngen, founder and CEO of ChildGen Play Dough, shared, "ChildGen offers a completely natural play dough. This business idea emerged from my search for trustworthy toys for my child, and we are thrilled to connect families with a brand they can trust through this investment. ChildGen uses Söke products and we produce natural items such as play dough, finger paint, and kinetic sand for children aged 18 months to 8 years.
As a brand, our mission is to brighten children's imagination and contribute to their development with safe play products. We are progressing steadily towards our goals by opening Turkey's first walkable play dough factory. Our new investment has received great interest from both families and schools."
