Matryoshka Doll Carrying a Big Daisy Bouquet

A single nesting doll stands upright with a round, smiling face framed by a headscarf dotted with small circles. She has big eyes with lashes, round circled cheeks, a curl of hair on her forehead and a little button at her collar. A large bouquet of daisies with leafy stems and clusters of tiny berries fills the front of her apron. Narrow bands of crosshatch pattern run down both sides, and scalloped edges and small diamond shapes decorate the shoulders and the scarf border. She sits on a simple round base. Try coloring the daisies in two or three shades and keeping the berries a contrasting color, so kids can see how a pattern repeats. The free printable also works well for a folk art lesson on Russian nesting dolls, since the many open shapes suit markers, pencils or crayons.
