Nesting dolls are the best known and most popular of all Russian souvenirs. The Russian word for these wooden dolls is matryoshka, but they are also called Babooshka dolls and stacking dolls. Whatever you want to call them they are the classic Russian gift. The most traditional doll design is one that looks like a young Russian woman dressed in Russian native costume with a scarf on her head. In the traditional nesting doll sets, all of the dolls look almost identical to one another. The number of dolls in the set ranges from 5 to 30, but some custom made matryoshkas contain many more where a doll fits inside a doll inside another doll and so on. The students created these beautiful Matryoshka dolls in order to demonstrate color schemes and symmetry.
