The wooden toys manufactured in the Channapatna or the toy-town of Karnataka are popularly known as Channapatna toys. It is a proper particular form of art practised in the southern state and is been preserved as a geographical indication (GI) under the norms of the World Trade Organization.

A typical type of wood from the Wrightia Tinctoria tree, also known as Aale Mara or ivory wood, is used in the making of the Channapatna toys. This wood is light in weight and closely grained so that it is easy to work with.
