Y2 Worry Dolls from Guatemala, by Miss Shaw
Date: 24th Oct 2014 @ 4:14pm
This week we have been reading the wonderful book Silly Billy by Anthony Browne (our author of the month!)
In the story Billy's Grandma gives im some Guatemalan worry dolls. If you tell a worry doll your worries before bedtime they will do all your worrying for you while they are under your pillow. We thought we would have a little go at making some ourselves, so that we have someone to tell our worries to at bedtime.
