"Tò he" is a traditional toy for Vietnamesechildren made from glutinous rice powder and shaped into edible figurines. In the past, "to he" were made and sold only during festivals, especially Tet (lunar New Year) and the Full Moon Festival, both favorites of children.

To create a to he figurine, a crafts person needs a mixture of glutinous and ordinary rice powders that can be easily kneadedinto edible shapes, plus bamboo sticks for the to he and to use for graphics. Modeledby hand, the "to he" are often shaped like animals, flowers and characters in folk stories like “Ton Ngo Khong,” or the Monkey King from “Journey to the West”. The seven basic colours are green,sea blue, red, purple, yellow, white and black, now made from food dyes that areused to replace colours made from trees or ashes.
