Guatemalan Worry Dolls Set of 6 – Handcrafted Fair Trade Sleep Aid
- Price
- $11
Rooted in Mayan tradition and handmade in Guatemala, these worry dolls are a gentle, time-honoured way to help children (and adults) let go of the day's worries and drift off to sleep. Each set makes a truly thoughtful gift — one that carries both meaning and craftsmanship.
✨ The Legend of the Worry Doll
According to Guatemalan tradition, you tell your worries to the dolls before bed and place them under your pillow. Through the night, the dolls take on the burden of your worries — and by morning, they return with the wisdom and clarity to help you move forward. A beautiful ritual for children learning to manage big feelings, and just as meaningful for grown-ups too.
