Events › Take-and-Make Día Worry Dolls

Celebrate Children's Day, Book Day (Día de los Niños/Día de los Libros) at Prewett Library! 

Grab a Take-and-Make Worry Doll craft kit:

From Guatemala, Worry Dolls were created to help with worrying. According to Mayan legends, when someone can't sleep because of their worries, they will tell these worries to as many dolls as needed. The Worry Doll is then placed under the pillow. The dolls will do the worrying, allowing the person to go to sleep.

One kit per patron, while supplies last.

Get supplies for your own Día celebration banner:

Papel picado is a decorative craft used to make banners. The designs are commonly cut from paper following a template. Template and paper will be provided for you to either create one in the library and hang on our Children's wall, or take home and decorate your own space.

There will also be other Día activity sheets and coloring pages. 

Celebrate with us all month long!
