CORN & CORN HUSK DOLLS

CORN & CORN HUSK DOLLS

Hand crafting with corn husks is a centuries old tradition throughout the Americas and wherever corn grows.  This may be one of the oldest forms of doll-making on our side of the world.  You'll create your own doll using corn husks, tying and knotting skills.

 

Endless possibilities connect this subject to academics and celebration - Indigenous peoples, history, social sciences, plant and physical sciences, and using fine motor skills for hand making things perfect for play.  Our slideshow connects the science of corn with handcraft.
