Inspired by Russian matryoshka dolls, we created our own little Muslim version wooden dolls for Ramadan to represent the culture of Russian speaking Muslims living in North America. Complete with skull cap and scarf, the boy and girl are made to look like they’re coming straight from the medersa! Pack the painted wooden dolls into a small box to create a lovely homemade gift for the kiddos in your life.
