Description: Great
Paper Dolls to Play with!!! - This is an 18 page activity book in
Spanish (no translation available yet) published by the Friends of
Ixchel Museum, a wonderful Textile Museum in Guatemala City. The
activity book contains boy (Pedro) and girl (Ixchelita) paper dolls.
Each has 4 traditional Mayan outfits to choose from. The girls includes
the traditional huipil. There is also pictures of loom with Mayan
Hieroglyphics and a number of other activities for the child to explore.
This is a another good resource for those of us that want to share
the rich traditions of the Mayan culture, textiles, arts and crafts with
Children.
Age: Any
age that likes to play with paper dolls would enjoy the boy and girl
cutout dolls. Other parts of the activity book may be more
difficult because they are in Spanish and involve weaving and textiles.
They would be great if a child is learning Spanish, or studying Central
American culture and crafts and has a teacher or loving adult to work with
on the activities.
