Corn Husk Doll


My little girl had a surprise in her backpack yesterday. Her preschool class had made native american corn husk dolls.

She told me this morning that little boys and girls made these dolls a long time ago.

I think it was a pretty cool experience for her.


If you would like to make a corn husk doll you can find the instructions here. This link has great suggestions for decorating your doll including soaking her in watercolors, food color, coffee or tea to give them color.


You can watch a video tutorial here.


I want a whole family to decorate with this Thanksgiving.



you can find the legend of the corn husk doll here.
