Corn husk doll

A corn husk doll is a toy made out of dried corn leaves that are still in their shell, also known as a husk. Think of it like the skin wrapping around a piece of candy, but instead of candy, it's made from plants!

The corn husks are folded and tied together, making a doll shape that can be decorated with beads, yarn, or fabric to make it look pretty. People have been making them for a long time, maybe even since before you were born!

The dolls can come in all different shapes and sizes, and some people even make special ones for different holidays, like Christmas or Halloween. It's a fun craft to do with friends or family, and when you're done making them, you can play with them or put them on display as decorations.
