Here is the tutorial for the paper Babushka doll as promise...
Please bear with the quality of the pictures...
the weather has been unpredictable...
Sunny and cloudy on and off...
Now, start with a square shape paper
(I let them use the drawing paper, so it's easier to color)
Fold the paper in half as below to create a crease line in the center
flatted the paper again, fold the two corners at side
inward the crease line.
(please don't draw the dotted line... I just want to make the crease line clearer for you!)

You should have this as below
Then, turn the paper around and fold in the tip
Like this...
Cut about half way into the 2 corners at side
as mark in the dotted line below..
(again... the dotted line is just reference)

(again... the dotted line is just reference)
cut like this
This is what you should have now
Fold in the cut flaps to form the 'hair'
Cut away the excess...
Turn to the back again...
Fold the top tip and secure with glue
This is the front
Now, you can fold the 'hands'.
Done!
It don't have to be Babushka / Matryoshka doll...
It could be anything up to the little ones imagination...
such as
Japanese or Egyptian doll perhaps?
My favorite set...
have to be these...
Hope you enjoy doing this with your kids!
