Doll making out of soft wood is a very old craft of Karnataka. Channapatna, Goka are centers of doll making. The Channapatna colorful soft-wood toys are very popular. Toys made at Gokak art exported to foreign countries.
The puppets used in puppet shows are made out of deer or calf skin or skins of other animals like donkey, sheep etc. Pictures are manufactured in Mysore, Shimonga and Sagar. Baskets and boxes are made out of a particular creeper in Uttra Kannada District. Brassware is made in Nagamangala. The potters art is all over but the earthen painted pots made in Ramnagar, Khanapur and Krishnarajpet are excellent.
