Those dolls are from workshop I conducted yesterday in after school program for Children at Risk, in south Tel Aviv, as part of parents-children weekly  group meeting with therapist, I was invited  to conduct my  workshop as part of experiential tool they try to  integrate in those meetings.

From my workshop

Some of the dolls from the Dolls orchestra workshop I have conducted at the last three days: 

Little treasures

I have some beautiful little treasures to share today.
They were all made by my cute little students, 6-8 year old, during the last school year.

This little creature is known as a penguin, it was created by one of the sweetest, gifted and enthusiastic student I have ever taught.

One day, with a shy voice, she asked if she can show something to the class, then she took out of her bag this lovely pillow she had created during the weekend.
I asked her with whom did she make it, and she answered she did it by her own, since no one in her family knows how to stitch.

At the last month they have created sock dolls same as I had already taught dozens of times.

The girl who created this doll insisted to create a long curly hair for her doll, just the same she has.
I had no idea how can she make it and then she came up with the idea of cutting fabrics strips in zigzags that look like the curls she has.

This one is quite accessorized as you can see.

and this one has only one sock, the other one had been created till the last minute of the class.
