Matryoshka Dolls

Matryoshka (Maa-Trio-Sh-Ka) dolls, also known as Babushka dolls, stacking dolls, nesting dolls, or Russian dolls, are a set of wooden dolls of decreasing size placed one inside another. In this lesson, students will design and print their own Matryoshka doll designs. While the project is intended to be a single lesson with printing following the lesson, the project can be extended to a second lesson, if desired, by either testing the printed designs and suggesting future improvements or painting their models using acrylic paints.
