They have entered people's lives first in the form of pots and pans and later have taken various forms to make life easier for people.

Ceramics, which has existed in people's lives to such an extent, after its invention have also served as an entertainment and education tool for children after going through various stages throughout history due to being easily shaped, produced and obtained.
