Artists Matryoshka Red with yellow scarf traditional (4 Nested set)
Traditional style matryoshka / nesting doll / Russian doll
The first matryoshka ( nesting doll ) was produced by Sergei Malutin in Sergiev Posad in 1890 painted on a set of dolls produced by Vasily Zvyozdochkin. As Matryoshka became popular other places such as Vyatka and Semenov also started specialising in their production.
This set was produced in a town 150km South-East of Sergeyev Posad. It is a colourful version of a traditional Kirov or Vyatka doll, this one in shades of red.
These wooden toys are a great way to help kids to develop hand and eye coordination (recommended for children three years and above). You can stack the nesting dolls on top of each other or maybe play a little game of guess what’s inside with your little ones. Whatever game you want to play, and whatever you call these dolls, whether stacking dolls, nesting dolls, Russian dolls or Matryoshka your kids will enjoy the real life interaction and the fun.
We should add that these matryoshka are not traditionally called Babushka dolls and that babushka actually means grandmother in Russian.
