Ndebele Dolls

The Year 6 students (and year 5/6EH!) created these amazing Ndebele inspired African dolls. We used a plastic water bottle filled with sand for the body and a ball of stuffing covered with material and attached to the bottle neck with a rubber band. I was particularly impressed with the students' designs and the way they approached this task!

A real Ndebele doll brought in by a student. This was great inspiration! Thanks Issy!
