Experience heartwarming DIY doll-shaped soap at Sanxia

Written/Compiled and reported by Wei Ruyu

From now until the end of April, the New Taipei City Sanxia Museum is hosting a “Doll-Shaped Plant Essential Oil Soap DIY” experience activity every Saturday and Sunday. In addition to making your own plant essential oil soap, you can also easily learn about Taiwan’s prehistoric and indigenous cultures, making it a perfect family-friendly activity.

The “Doll-Shaped Plant Essential Oil Soap DIY” experience activity draws inspiration from the unearthed artifacts of the Sanxia archaeological site and incorporates indigenous Taiwanese patterns. It features a variety of cleverly designed, cute, and meaningful shapes as the base for the soaps — such as the much-loved “little pig figurine” shape, which tells the story of the inseparable relationship between wild boars and the life of indigenous peoples, helping visitors better understand the wisdom of prehistoric human life. There’s also the “Paiwan tribal chief” figure wearing a bear-eagle feather headdress, which shares the mysterious legend of why the proud and dignified Paiwan chief would wear such feathers. Additionally, there are heart-shaped designs depicting two people singing and dancing together, as well as the figurine of the young noblewoman from Yibai.

The Sanxia Museum noted that in addition to making soap, participants will also receive a small Sanxia family doll keychain. You can place this charming little doll keychain inside the soap, not only enriching the soap’s appearance but also adding fun to its use. The “Doll-Shaped Plant Essential Oil Soap DIY” experience is held every Saturday and Sunday until the end of April (with one session at 10:30 AM and another at 3:00 PM each day), with 20 spots available per session. The material fee is NT$60 per person.
