Worry Doll

A worry doll is a small, hand-crafted doll originating from Guatemala, traditionally made from wire, wool, and colorful textiles. According to legend, children tell their worries to the doll and place it under their pillow at night, allowing the doll to take away their concerns while they sleep. Worry dolls are popular as folk art, collectibles, and as a comforting hobby craft.
