Matryoshka Doll with a Swan and Paisley Flowers

A classic nesting doll stands front and center, with a round face, big wide-set eyes, small lips, and a headscarf with dotted trim along the edge. A large flower sits on each side of her face, and a small collar sits under her chin. The belly of the doll holds the main design, a swan with a curved neck surrounded by layered petals, scalloped feathers, swirls, leaves, and paisley shapes. Scattered dots of different sizes fill the empty spaces, and a scalloped border runs along the bottom. The big flowers and the swan are good spots for colored pencils or fine markers. Try warm reds and oranges on the scarf and cooler blues and greens on the swan, so the center of the doll really stands out. The small patterns also give kids good practice with careful, steady coloring.
