BROKEN APPLE (Ages 4-7)
Elma Kurdu Kırık is an entertaining children's game for children under the age of 7, using puppets and played with live music. It tells the story of a mischievous apple maggot's journey to find the perfect apple. Kırtık, who does not value what he has and despises those around him, realizes something much more valuable instead of reaching the perfect apple he is looking for on this trip. Drawing attention to children's relationships with their social environment, the game aims to improve the child's perception by associating abstract concepts with concrete objects. The game, which recreates the contradictions that the child experiences in his daily life in a colorful dream world, gives the child the chance to look at his own reality from the outside. B.
