VIETNAMESE TRADITIONAL TOYS

in #vietnam7 years ago (edited)
In the past, Vietnamese children grew up in a natural manner. From an early age, they were expected to help in family’s form-works. People had little time to spare on entertainment, and children played with toys made from all possible materials within reach such as wood, leaves, bamboo, clay and paper.

Kite is a traditional toy for rural children which is played with in the summer. The frame, made from bamboo, is covered with Do paper or rice paper (elastic paper). The glue used to attach the paper is made from persimmon resin. In the center of the kite, a system of flutes, made from bamboo, is installed which creates a sound when the kite is flown. On a hot summer day, some Vietnamese people derive pleasure from flying a kite while riding a buffalo.
