Unpainted Nesting Dolls - DIY 7 Matryoshka Nesting Dolls Blank - DIY Unfinished Blank Doll for Paint Gifts - Make Your Own Doll

Great fun to make and to paint! Beautiful wood, smooth.

I'm impressed. I paint these myself with animals and I have pretty high standards for nested wood pieces. These were beautiful. There were no cracks or chips. Each piece was smooth and the 2 pieces fit perfectly. They tend to be tight, but I'd rather they be tight (I can always sand the joints a little) than too loose. I live in west Michigan and the climate can be a little dry. Wood products from other parts of the country/world can crack upon arrival. Not so with these. Wherever they're made must be similar climate. I'm very happy with this purchase.

My grandson loves dinosaurs so after a few drawing lessons - we took our time to draw a variety of dinosaurs on each nesting doll blank and then painted them. For 7 years old he did a great job & was quite proud of himself. The soft wood made it very easy to paint. We used both water colors and markers. I bought 4 more to gift my other grandsons & nephews for Christmas. I have a friend who said she can't wait to gift to her artistic 12-year old to give it a whirl. Actually I think these would be enjoyed by all ages!

What i like about this matryoshka is how smooth it feels when painted on and how they leave you instructions on how to make sure you seal it correctly when you out them back together, and how to keep them to stay good as new. Which is understandable because it handmade and its natural wood and its kind of fragile but all nesting dolls are. But the package, the info of the person who made them, the care instructions and how smooth the design feels is perfect for painting and worth the money. I highly recommend this brand over every naked nesting doll set I've found.

I highly recommend wearing gloves when handling the unfinished pieces ESPECIALLY if you’re buying these as a craft for children. The wooden pieces themselves are fine, some of the pieces on mine came with small imperfections such as indentations, and a surface-level crack on one of them, which wasn’t ideal but it’s at least fixable. Over all they are decent quality for the price and I’m satisfied with my purchase. These were absolutely coated in sawdust upon arrival, I’m someone who’s used to working with unfinished wood but these pieces were exceptionally messy in my opinion. I immediately got a microscopic splinter in my hand when I first touched them, they needed extensive dusting before priming, and I still had bits of sawdust clumping up in my primer which will need to be sanded. If I had it to do over again I would have blown the dust off with compressed air outside before even considering trying to prime. Over all the product is fine for the price and the pieces are sturdy and nicely shaped, but due to some of the imperfections in the wood and how messy they were upon arrival I removed a star.

Come together well Painting it for Sippy a DJ for Aus look em up

They are perfect. 7 blank dolls, fit together nicely. Can’t wait to paint them.

These were perfect for a personalized set of nesting dolls! They fit together well, no imperfections and nothing bad to speak of.
