Accordingly, children will have an opportunity to see how handicrafts are made by artisits. In addition, they wil be able create folk toys made of bamboo, paper, and coconut leaves by themselves.
Several folk games, held in the museum for the first time, are hoped to delight even hard-to-please children.
Notably, children, for the first time, will be entertained with typical and joyful Unicorn Dances performed by Kinh, Chinese, and Khmer ethnic minorities from Bac Lieu Province. The Unicorn Dance group took part in the Smithsonian Festival held in the US in 2007 and the Vietnam Cultural Festival in late May and early June 2008 in Singapore.
