Punketas Courses


Punketas are a traditional folk toy made in Puerto Rico. The punketas are traditionally made of cloth, sticks, and corks, but can also be made from other materials like cord and paper. The most recognizable punketas have a large round head and two arms attached to the body. The head and arms may be decorated with different colors and designs, and have a bell at the top. Punketas have been used for centuries for various activities like dancing the "seis"( a folk dance done with a partner), dancing or playing in the park, or as toys for children. Punketas can also be used as decorations during the Christmas season. Traditionally, punketas are made with bright colors and designs, but they can also be made with more muted colors and plain fabrics. Punketas make great gifts and souvenirs, and are often sold at festivals and markets in Puerto Rico. They can be bought ready-made or can be purchased as supplies and made at home. Making punketas is great fun and a great way to get the whole family involved in crafting!
