Blown sugar craftsmen use maltose and heat it into sugar gum, and add different flavours and food colourings to make sugar figurines e.g. Chinese zodiac, figure dolls, flowers, birds, fish, insects and animals. In addition, the sugar gum is kneaded into a ball, pull out a long blowpipe, and blow it with a mouth. The blown sugar figurine is very thin and easy to fragile, so it is not easy to preserve; and it is usually eaten after playing and enjoying it.

The dough figurine craftsman has a suitcase filled with colourful dough - after a series of kneading, pinching and pulling with their hands, a lifelike dough figurine is finished within a few minutes. The dough sculptures are usually displayed on a wood board filled with small holes so that children and visitors can select their favourite figurines.
