Guatemala
| Guatemalan worry dolls |
| In Guatemala, tiny worry dolls are made out of scrap materials. Before children go to bed, they tell their worries to their dolls, one at a time. They believe the dolls take away their worries while they sleep. Often six dolls are kept together in a tiny wooden box. I made these Guatemalan worry dolls by hot gluing toothpicks together and wrapping yarn around them for the outfits * If you don't have yarn. Use other materials you might have around the house |
