FUN AND LEARNING - Semenov Matryoshka Family Dolls for Counting - Hand Painted - (UI-E-1+10-3)

The main doll is a classic Semenov Russian doll, made with the best traditions of Semenov paintings when not all wood is painted over. The small dolls are small, cute and fun. They are all smooth and bright. Nice to touch, hold and place in rows for counting.

The Mother doll of 16 cm high (6.4’) is hollow inside, it opens and can hide inside all 10 of his kids. To hide them inside, the little dolls can be put separately into the main body of the main doll and into the head if they all do not fit into the body after they have been taken out once. The height of each doll is around 4.5 cm (1.8’). The set was made from linden tree and hand painted in Semenov factory in Russia. It has varnish finish.

This is one of the sets from our carefully chosen collection of educational Russian dolls, which can be great visual study aids for teaching numeracy and counting up to ten. This is not a toy, but an educational souvenir and children must be supervised at all times when you teach them about shapes and numbers as well as how to count, add and subtract using our sets of educational Russian nesting dolls.

There are so many games you can play with your children and have fun with our educational Russian dolls.

Some ideas:

1) Hide different dolls from the educational set in different places and then look for them, count them and hide them back inside of the main doll.
2 ) Make your child get used to one Doll first and teach them number one. Then in several days take out the second doll from our educational set and teach your child number two, then in several days take out the third doll and so on, until they learn all ten numbers.
3 ) You can have fun with older children teaching them simple adding and deducting within number ten using these educational Russian dolls.

As all our Russian dolls are hand painted by artists there may be variations and differences between those pictured on our website and the ones you will receive. Please note that there may be some bright spots on pictures of Russian dolls on our website, resulting from photo camera flash and lights. The actual Russian dolls that you will receive will not have any of those spots.
