Art in the Park: Corn Husk Dolls is a hands-on crafting workshop led by a park ranger at William B. Umstead State Park. During this one-hour session, children will listen to the traditional history of these seasonal toys and use provided natural materials to assemble their own doll. This program is best suited for elementary-aged children who have the fine motor skills to tie and fold the husks. The event is free to attend, and all crafting supplies are provided at no cost. Meet at the visitor center at the Crabtree Creek entrance off Glenwood Avenue, where you will find plenty of paved parking and public restrooms. It is a smart addition to your weekend plans because it combines a quick, structured creative activity with the chance to spend the rest of your afternoon hiking the nearby kid-friendly Oak Rock Trail.
