There are two taller figures and two smaller ones, so the set reads as a family at a glance, each with a tiny orange face, a tuft of dark hair and arms held out wide. Their clothes are wound in bright thread, with woven cloth wrapped round some of the bodies, in shades such as blue, green, yellow, red and orange. Because every doll is made by hand, the colours change from set to set, and no two families are quite alike. At their tallest the dolls stand 3cm high, 2cm long and half a centimetre wide, small enough to sit in the palm of your hand.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese worry dolls make a charming keepsake for anyone who loves small, handmade things. They sit happily on a bedside table, a bookshelf or a desk, and they tuck easily into a pocket, a purse or a trinket box. They are a playful toy as much as an ornament, lovely to hold and set out in a row. The printed card they come on shows a cheerful house with the words Family Worry Free, and the line From the Mayan people to you runs along the bottom, so they are ready to give just as they are.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach doll is wound by hand around slender limbs, with pale tips left showing at the hands and feet and the thread wrapped close for the clothes. They are delicate, so treat them gently: keep them dry and away from direct heat, and lift any dust with a soft, dry paintbrush. The round hole at the top of the card lets it hang from a hook or a pin. For a thoughtful gift, slip the card into a greetings card or a small box with a note.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch5\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRex London\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e100 cotton thread, tissue paper \u0026amp; natural fibre (cibaque)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLength\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e3cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.0008KG\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eContents\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSet of 4\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWarnings\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eThese dolls are not suitable for children under 3 years.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch5\u003eFrequently Asked\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow big are the worry dolls?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt their tallest the dolls stand 3cm high, 2cm long and half a centimetre wide.
