Nesting dolls are the best known and most popular of all Russian souvenirs. The Russian word for these wooden dolls is "matryoshka", but some people mistakenly refer to them as babushka dolls or stacking dolls. Whatever you want to call them, nesting dolls have a fascinating history. Each nesting doll is hand-carved in linden wood, then hand-painted, so that no two are the same! Please take a look at our wide array of nesting dolls.
