Event Details

 

 

Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and make your own rain stick. Indigenous to Northern Chile, rain sticks were used in ceremonies in requests for rainstorms and are now used as a musical instrument.  

 

Worry dolls, or Muñeca quitapena, originated from the Mayan culture of Guatemala. According to legend, Mayan people would tell their worries to small dolls before going to sleep, and the dolls would take their worries away while they slept. Celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month and make your own set of Worry Dolls.
