We also made these lovely corn husk dolls.

I bought the corn husks from the grocery store.  I found them in the Hispanic foods section.  They had to be soaked in water overnight to make them more pliable.  I think these are wonderful. So simple and sweet.  The girls actually played with these all afternoon. Instructions here.


It was good to put our pencils down for a day and work with our hands.
