What is a Russian Nesting Doll?
Russian nesting dolls or Matryoshka dolls are a set of hallow wooden dolls that sit or nest
inside of each other. The doll consists of many small dolls. The original doll was created by
Sergey Malyutin, in 1890, he was a Russian folk artists. His first doll design consisted of
eight doll with the outermost being a girl in a traditional dress holding a rooster. The inner
dolls were little girls, a boy, and the innermost a tiny solid wooden doll being a baby. Often
the dolls were designed to follow a particular theme like peasant girls wearing traditional
Russian dress or classic fairy tale characters. Today in the 20th century, the dolls have
embraced a larger range of pop-culture influences which includes Soviet leaders, animals,
Santa Clause, and even Doctor Who.
Who comes first?
Directions: Which doll is the biggest? Who is the smallest? Can you number them 1,2,3 having the
biggest be number 1 and the smallest be number 3?
Who matches?
Directions: Can you tell which two dolls are the same? Circle the matching dolls below.
Size Sorting
I recommend printing on cardstock and laminating the dolls for a more durable project. However, if you
are working with pasting or cutting skills print on copier paper and use with construction paper.
Matching Cards
You can use these cards like a memory game, matching set, or sorting activity. Print on card stock and
laminate if desired. Make multiple copies if needed.
Print on cardstock and laminate for a durable clip cards. If you are working with fine motor skills you can
use stickers instead of clips, or on pencil skills use a crayon or dry erase marker, or a hole punch.
