Do you remember when we learned about worry dolls?
We were reading the book Silly Billy by Anthony Browne and learned about Guatemalan worry dolls. Worry dolls are handmade dolls, most often made in Guatemala from wire, wool and small pieces of fabric. The dolls are often tiny, though Western versions can be much larger. Traditionally, the dolls are given to children to help them with their worries. Children will share their concerns with the dolls and then place them under their pillows where the worries will go away over night.
The things that are going on in the world might be worrying for you or your family. You could try and make some of your own worry dolls and tell them your worries. Use the link below for instructions for making them at home.
