The dynamics of this study are the fact that cognitive disability have the highest number among the educable disability groups, the use of toys as educational materials in this target group, and the limited academic studies on this type of disability. Three different toy groups were manufactured from pine wood for the study. Each group consists of four toys whose surface treatment is colored in four different ways. These toys are offered periodically to cognitive disability children of different genders, disability rates, and ages.
