Imagine the amusement a child will feel the first time they open a nesting doll to see that there is another series of dolls within, each being a little different and fitting perfectly together in the set. A set of blank wooden nesting dolls can also be a great way to give a gift to a special loved one, or even propose for engagement. Just replace the smallest doll with an engagement ring!
