“Secrets of Ancient Dolls” Workshop
Many years ago people used to believe that a toy is not just an entertainment. It was believed that the toy of a child is a continuation of the baby. A folk doll contains a huge set of symbols and secrets, from appearance to its purpose. As a part of the Good Cause Every Day!promo event by the Foundation for inmates of the Pereyaslav-Khmelnitsky boarding school an interesting workshop on traditional toys making was held.
At the interactive lesson the children learned that centuries ago dolls were made from natural materials: grass, straw, bark, twigs, sticks, and scraps of old cloth.
The most popular in Ukrainian villages were rag dolls.
The host of the workshop Pauline helped everyone to make the original handmade folk dolls that will please their owners for a long time.
The children were happy to do something creative, and new toys will bring joy and good luck to the girls and boys.
After all, with love in our hearts we are building a new world!
