Kiwanis Dolls Workshop

A Kiwanis dolls workshop isa community service event where Kiwanis clubs and volunteers create simple, hand-sewn cloth dolls that are given to children in difficult situations, such as those in hospitals or who have experienced trauma. These dolls are designed to be huggable and provide comfort, allowing children to express their feelings by drawing on them or using them to understand medical procedures.

Purpose

• Comfort and emotional support: The dolls provide a source of comfort for children in stressful situations, like being in the hospital.
• Tool for expression: Children can draw faces or mark injuries on the dolls to help them process and communicate their fears and pain to adults.
• Aid in medical procedures: Medical personnel can use the dolls to demonstrate what will happen during a procedure, helping the child feel more in control and less anxious.
