Worry Dolls are tiny, hand-crafted dolls from Guatemala. The dolls are clothed in traditional Mayan attire. The indigenous people from the Highlands in Guatemala created Worry Dolls many generations ago as a remedy for worrying. According to the Mayan legend, when worrying keeps a person awake, they tell a worry to as many dolls as necessary. The the worrier places the dolls under their pillow. The dolls take over the worrying for the person who then sleeps peacefully through the night. When morning breaks, the person awakens without the worries that the dolls took away during the night.
