Babushka Doll - Sari
Also known as the Russian Nesting Doll, or Russian Doll, the Babushka/Matryoshka Doll is a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. A set of Babushkas consists of a wooden figure which separates, top from bottom, to reveal a smaller figure of the same sort inside, which has, in turn, another figure inside of it, and so on.
A great resource to introduce size, order, symmetry, spatial, cultural & religious awareness.
The Babushka Doll is also a great resource to help children develop fine motor skills.
Embed these cultural dolls in your everyday practices, by simply making them available every day for children to play with or incorporate them in your cultural displays. Can be used as provocations, for storytelling, dramatic play, block corner, art & craft - the possibilities are endless.
These Russian nesting dolls, wearing a Sari, include 5 dolls (with the largest 16cm in height), all smaller dolls are entering into a bigger one, with even the smallest one intricately detailed.
Please note that the boxes these Babushkas come in are slightly imperfect.
Each doll is hand painted & crafted, which means each doll may vary.
