Vietnam's living folk toys include tò he — hand-shaped rice-dough figures made in front of the buyer at village festivals — Đông Hồ folk woodblock prints (which double as decorations and pictorial toys), the moon-cake festival lion masks, and the star-shaped lantern (đèn ông sao) carried by children on Mid-Autumn night. Water puppetry (múa rối nước), a thousand years old, is performed on flooded stages.
