Guatamalan
Worry dolls
The
legend of the Guatamalan Dolls
Traditionally
Guatamalan worry dolls (or worry people) are used for anyone who
has worries and cares. You tell each worry doll a worry and then
place them under your pillow and go to sleep. In the morning tradition
has it that your worries are gone. What a delightful way to see
them go. This follows a Mayan tradition.
These
Guatamalan worry dolls are made under fairtrade agreements in Guatamala.
They are not really toys because they are very small. Each doll
has been made with care and attention and has surprising detail.
The 6 little Guatamalan Worry Dolls come in a little colourful drawstring
bag and cost £1.50.
