Worry doll
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Worry dolls, or trouble dolls, are very small dolls originally made in Guatemala. A person who cannot sleep due to worrying can place a worry doll under the pillow; the doll is thought to worry in the person's place, thereby permitting the person to sleep. In the morning the children wake up without their worries, which have been taken away by the dolls during the night.
They are about 1/2 in. tall and handmade from cotton, wood and card. Worry dolls are often sold as a fair trade item.
