I purchased these nesting dolls for my special education classroom. I plan to use them to teach comparatives and superlatives (big, bigger and biggest). The delivery was quick and the dolls were as pictured. I did not give a perfect rating, because I have not tried them with my student yet and do not know how durable they are.
I would not purchase these dolls for a very young child, but for my purposes they were perfect.

Glitter Wood Nesting Dolls Set Overview
A matryoshka doll or a Russian nested doll, also called a stacking doll, is a set of dolls of decreasing sizes placed one inside the other. “Matryoshka” is a derivative of the Russian female first name “Matryona”, which is traditionally associated with a fat, robust Russian woman. A set of matryoshkas consists of a wooden figure which can be pulled apart to reveal another figure of the same sort inside. It has, in turn, another figure inside, and so on. The number of nested figures is usually five or more. The shape is mostly cylindrical, rounded at the top for the head and tapered towards the bottom, but little else; the dolls have no hands (except those that are painted). Traditionally the outer layer is a woman, dressed in a sarafan, holding a rooster. Inside, it contains other figures that may be of both genders, usually ending in a baby that does not open. The artistry is in the painting of each doll, which can be extremely elaborate.
