As part of our Art topic this half term, Year 2 children have been learning about Guatemalan Worry Dolls.
Worry dolls are small, hand-made dolls that originate from Guatemala. According to legend, Guatemalan children tell their worries to the Worry Dolls, placing them under their pillow when they go to bed at night.
After collecting doll-shaped sticks from our forest school, we made our own worry dolls. We used lots of techniques such as wrapping, twisting, cutting, measuring, sticking and tying.
We made ours pirate-themed to fit in with our English topic, The Pirate Cruncher.
