babushkas

For Christmas, K got a set of nesting dolls, which the Russians call matroyshkas but are sometimes called babushkas too. Unfortunately, I forgot to photograph her dolls when I was taking pictures for this post. :)

K likes what I call magical toys. She adores things like snow globes, matroyshkas, and music boxes, kaleidoscopes, etc. I decided it would be fun to do some crafts that tied into her interest. I made myself some fun fabric babushkas for the kitchen and the girls made these (from a tutorial from Whip Up).

We used some more of our shaving cream marbleized paper (we made our Christmas trees with the same papers).

Currently, they hang-out on the mantle (along with some of C's origami flowers).
