Best Nesting Dolls of 2025

"I purchased these for my child when he was 1 year old, and I was surprised by how much he enjoys them! He loves stacking and exploring, and they really help develop his fine motor skills. Although sometimes he needs a bit of assistance to open the animals, he often manages to do it himself, which brings him lots of joy. Now at 18 months, he still plays with them nearly every day. I highly recommend this fun and lasting toy!"

"I bought this set for my grandson because he recently fell in love with Russian dolls. The beautifully painted dolls are well-constructed, and he absolutely adores them!"

"While these dolls are adorable, I found that they fit together a bit too snugly for my 2-year-old granddaughter. Even though she loves them, she struggles a little to open them."

"I previously bought from another company, but their wood wasn't sturdy or smooth. These are extremely sturdy and very smooth. Unless I find another company that makes them as well, I will definitely buy from this company again."

"I purchased eight sets for a family vacation so we could paint them as a keepsake. We had so much fun! They take paint well, and only one doll in one set stopped closing all the way. I think I can sand it down, and they still sit as a happy reminder of our beach trip!"

"I got these for my nephew as a craft project, and they are exactly what I wanted. They were a bit tricky to separate at first, but overall, they are great."

"My preschoolers find these to be their favorite work to do during the day. Durable and cute!"

"I purchased these nesting dolls for my son, who loves to open and close things. The silicone material is gentle on his hands, and the colors are aesthetically pleasing. We've had them for months without any signs of wear. However, I tend to be a little OCD, so if half a bear gets lost or destroyed, the set feels incomplete."

"I got these as a gift for my friend's daughter, and both her and her older brother loved playing with them at the party. The colors are beautiful, and I know they will enjoy them for a long time. Although, I did notice that they pick up dirt and hair quickly."

"I might actually like these more than my daughter! I ordered them for her for Christmas, and she thinks they're just the neatest thing! They're beautifully crafted and quite durable since she's been playing with them."

"I've been a Hello Kitty collector for years, and I absolutely love these nesting dolls. They're a fantastic addition to my collection and definitely worth the wait, especially since I pre-ordered!"

"Hello Kitty is my daughter's favorite! I'm planning to fill each one with skincare products for Christmas Day. What a great find!"

"I think these are adorable and well-constructed nesting dolls. The hand-painted woodland animals are just delightful! I did find that the pieces fit very tightly, so my husband had to wax the rims for easier opening. My toddler loves taking them apart, so this was necessary."

"I initially thought this set was a cute idea, but I was disappointed with the quality. The edges feel rough and the moose ears don't stay in place. The smallest piece got stuck inside the next one, making it impossible to use. I'm really frustrated and would like to return it, especially since I wanted to send it to my granddaughter in France."

"My daughter and her family are woodsy people, and she absolutely loves these dolls! I'm even considering purchasing the marine set for her because the orca and other water creatures look so cute!"

"I got these for my 4-year-old niece; she absolutely loves them!"

"I purchased these dolls as gifts; they are well crafted, although I noticed they are probably made in China."

"While the nesting dolls are lovely, I was disappointed to find only 6 instead of 7."

"My daughter adores this toy. Great quality and super fun for toddlers!"

"These dolls are adorable! I was surprised by the small yet detailed smallest doll. The paint job is perfect, making them a fantastic gift without costing a lot!"

"I bought these nesting dolls for my granddaughter, and they're painted beautifully with plenty of variety. I was a little let down that they lack a clear coat, so I plan to add one myself for durability."

"I gifted these to my Russian friends for Christmas, and they were quite pleased. Very pretty!"

"I intended these for my granddaughter, but I can't use them now! Taking the nesting dolls apart was almost impossible, and one piece arrived cracked. So disappointed."

"These nesting dolls are really beautiful, but two out of five have large cracks. Despite that, they still nest together well."

"I find this penguin set absolutely amazing! The shipping and packaging were fantastic, and I appreciate that this wooden penguin arrived in perfect condition. It was so exciting to discover all the nestled pieces! Each penguin is painted adorably, and I’m really pleased to give this as a gift!"

"I was pleasantly surprised by the painting detail; it's much crisper than I expected for this price. The thrill of opening the package and discovering one more piece after another was quite enjoyable. I believe this is definitely worth getting as an upgrade from other options!"

"While I think it's a bit overpriced, I got it for my toddler, and I found that some of the pieces can be hard to twist off. It matches the description, but I’m not sure I would buy it again."

"I bought these as a gift for a friend from my country of origin. They look really cute!"

"I found these dolls nearly impossible to open. Even I, an adult, struggled with them. They're pretty but not functional for kids."

"The paint on these dolls is adorable, but the fit is too tight. I hope as they are used more, they become easier to separate."
