Matryoshka dolls are a type of doll that comes from Russia. They are like a family of dolls that all fit inside each other, kind of like a big surprise waiting to be discovered!

These dolls are usually made of wood and painted by hand. The biggest doll is on the outside, and she's often dressed in traditional Russian clothing. She has a bright scarf on her head and a long dress. Inside her, you'll find smaller dolls, each one a bit smaller than the last.

The number of dolls can vary, but typically there are five to ten. The smallest doll is like a tiny baby doll, and it's the one that fits inside all the others.

Matryoshka dolls are special because they are like a puzzle. You start with the biggest doll, and then you open her up to find the next one inside. It's like a game of "doll inside doll"!

People often use Matryoshka dolls as decorations in their homes, especially in places where Russian culture is celebrated. They also make great gifts because they are beautiful and can be a fun surprise for someone to open.

We like Matryoshka dolls because they are beautiful, fun, and remind us of the joy of discovery. They also teach us about different cultures and traditions.
