Guatemalan Worry Dolls

Worry Dolls in Wooden Boxes

In the folk tradition of Guatemala in Central America, children use these worry dolls to remove their worries. Before going to bed they tell a worry to each of the Guatemalan dolls. In the morning the children wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night.

Buy Guatemalan Worry Dolls Worry Dolls in Draw String Bags Each worry doll is about 25mm (1 inch) long and is surprisingly detailed and decorated with Guatemalan fabrics. They are supplied in sets of six in a decorated wooden box or a fabric draw string bag in traditional Guatemalan designs. Many children and adults find worry dolls a great comfort. As the dolls are small and could be swallowed they are not suitable for small children. Guatemalan is often incorrectly spelled as Guatamalan. Guatemalan Worry Dolls in Hospitals and Schools We have heard some anecdotal evidence about the successful use of Guatemalan worry dolls in hospitals and in schools. Several hospitals are using them in children's wards particularly where serious illnesses such as cancers are being treated to calm children and remove some of their worries. In education they are also being used in schools and units for children with behavioural problems. The worry dolls have apparently helped with underlying problems in children's lives that have adversely affected their learning and behaviour. So far we have only seen anecdotal accounts. We would be very interested to hear about any research or studies on the use of Guatemalan worry dolls in therapeutic settings.
