Nesting Dolls



O and M love to play with Guh-guh's nesting dolls (she has LOTS of them!). M explained to O how she was lining them up according to size. Then Guh-guh read them the story of Matryoshka dolls.

  1. My 2.5 year old LOVES my nesting dolls. She calls them "The Whole Family" (i.e. Can I play with the whole family, mommy? :)

  2. I have wanted to get these for a while. I would love to have a set (or more!)

    The above comment is so cute!

  3. I agree that nesting dolls are just the most wonderful things to play with for small people. I was given a set of Communist leader nest dolls, which will make a very interesting history lesson in a few years time!

  4. My 22 month old loves them, too! She especially likes the tiny ones in the middle - calls it baby and carries it around, rocking and wrapping it with blankets.

  6. How funny. I always thought of them of something particularly known in the eastern parts of Europe (Matryoshka). They have been around alot during my childhood ... I grew up in the former eastern part of Germany. Now I don't find them that often anymore. My daughter just got a small set from her grandma a few weeks ago and she LOVES it! She carried it around for weeks! I am thinking of getting a bigger set. I was surprised how much fun she had with them!
