Ten Bow-Tied Matryoshka Dolls in Two Rows of Five

Two rows of five nesting dolls fill the page, each with a smiling face, round cheeks, and a headscarf tied under the chin with a small bow. The dolls all have different patterns on their rounded bodies. Several have a big heart on the front with a rose or tulip inside. Others show a single large flower, like a lily, a pansy, or a daisy-style bloom. One doll is covered in stars with a rose and stem down the middle, and another has small hearts around her scarf. Narrow borders of zigzags, dots, and leaves add extra small spaces. Try coloring each doll in its own palette, then ask kids to match flowers to real ones they know. Fine-tip markers or colored pencils work well for the tiny patterns, and the free printable also gives a nice chance to talk about how nesting dolls fit inside one another.
