Children historically have participated in the production of folk art and household crafts. Their projects functioned to fulfill multiple needs. Sometimes, their productions served to provide children with toys. Other times, household crafts and folk art taught children important skills that they would need in adulthood. Folk art was also an important part of self-expression for children, as well as adults. Come to the Museum’s booth in the Folk Art area of the Common Ground Country Fair on Friday to watch demos of some important folk arts and handicrafts for kids including doll-making and weaving.
