How to make a “Matryoshka” craft from candy wrappers and cardboard
- Cut out a matryoshka doll from colored double-sided cardboard. This can be done in two ways: cut out the template, trace it on cardboard, and then let the child cut out this outline, or attach the template to the cardboard with paper clips and let the child cut out the matryoshka doll from the template and from the cardboard at the same time.
- Color the face of the matryoshka doll on the template with felt-tip pens and cut it out from the template.
- Cut out a circle from a candy wrapper of the same diameter as the apron of a nesting doll on a template (since cutting from a candy wrapper is more difficult than from paper, children under 4-5 years old may not be able to cope with this task. In this case, cutting out a circle from a candy wrapper helps them adult).
- Using the template, cut out the ends of the scarf tied in a knot from the same colored cardboard. If it is still difficult for a child to cut out such details, you can skip this point.
- Glue a face, a circle of candy wrappers, and the ends of a handkerchief tied in a knot onto a cardboard nesting doll.
You can make several smaller nesting dolls in the same way.
I suggest watching a master class on another craft with nesting dolls (from Kinder surprise containers and plastic eggs), crafts from candy wrappers and other waste materials.

I'll tell you the story of the nesting doll
There is such a legend. A wealthy merchant brought a figurine from Japan to his estate in the village of Abramtsevo near Moscow. The Japanese toy had a secret. His whole family was hiding in the old man Fukurumu (slide 1) One day, guests came to the merchant, and the hostess showed everyone a funny figurine. The detachable figurine interested the artist Sergei Malyutin. He decided to do something similar. He did not repeat the Japanese toy.
(slide 2) I made a sketch of a round-faced peasant lady in a colorful headscarf, dressed her in a Russian sundress, and to make her look more interesting, he drew a black rooster in her arms.
The next young lady had a sickle in her hand. Another one with a loaf of bread. What about the sisters without their brother - and he appeared in a painted shirt. A whole family, friendly and hardworking. He ordered the best turner of the Sergiev Posad educational and demonstration workshops, Vasily Zvezdochkin, to make his incredible work.
And he called it Matryoshka.
Why do you think Matryoshka is named this way?
The name Matryona was then widespread, hence the name. Why is she dressed like that? Girls of those years wore such outfits. The matryoshka symbolizes the image of a Russian girl. The first nesting doll consisted of eight dolls.
Matryoshka is a Russian toy made of wood in the form of a painted doll, it is divided into two halves, inside it there are the same smaller dolls. The number of dolls nested inside each other can be from three or more.
Nowadays matryoshka dolls are made in various workshops. The method of making nesting dolls has remained unchanged for many years. You need to choose the right wood. (slide 3) This is how a workpiece is processed on a machine. The smallest non-dismountable doll is made first. Then they start making a second doll, a little larger, and divide it in half. The bottom part is done first. The wood is then removed from the inside of both parts of the second doll so that the smaller doll fits snugly inside. Having made the second doll, proceed to the third and so the required number of times.
(slide 4) Look at this photo and you can see in cross-section how the nesting dolls are located inside.
After making the blanks, they are still dried and varnished. (slide 5)
Then the artists paint it. They use different paints, but most often gouache. (slide 6)
The matryoshka has become a symbol of native Russian culture and the most traditional souvenir from Russia. That's how many nesting dolls are sold for different tastes. (slide 7)
