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 story Ruby's Worry tells us how important it is to speak about how we are feeling so a worry can become smaller. Can you make your very own worry dolls?
