Themed

Vila Verde dolls are true handcrafted works of art, produced with skill and care by the talented hands of local artisans. Each doll is unique, reflecting the cultural tradition and creativity of the region. Made with traditional materials, such as plaster, wire and paper, these dolls represent not only an artistic expression, but also a link between the past and the present, preserving the cultural roots of the Vila Verde community.

The meticulous process of creating these dolls highlights the value of local craftsmanship, transmitting stories and traditions through each carefully crafted detail. These dolls are not just objects but living witnesses of the cultural richness and craftsmanship that characterize Vila Verde.

Play Planet undertook a remarkable project by reproducing the region’s iconic dolls by transforming them into an imposing fiberglass activity tower, the “Vila Verde Doll”, ref. P19TB05, painted and decorated with motifs from the Valentine’s Handkerchiefs, strategically highlighted in the new inclusive playground in the Vila Verde municipal park.

Play Planet’s meticulousness in replicating every detail of the dolls highlights its commitment to preserving cultural authenticity. This replica is more than a simple object, it is a living testimony to the local heritage, providing visitors with a deeper understanding of Vila Verde’s cultural identity.

In addition to the construction of this themed and inclusive playground, the project also included the entire redevelopment of the municipal park and its surroundings, offering visitors an immersive experience in the unique tradition of the community.
