Just like her mom, Abby LOVES Russian nesting dolls.

A really great developmental toy for a toddler. Encourages social play, pattern-matching, counting skills, fine-motor skills, imaginative play, etc. And they're pretty!

Unfortunately, this is NOT meant to be a toddler's toy, so we had to take it away from her quickly when she tried to lick the doll. I think nowadays non-toxic paint is generally used, but I can't be sure, so I am being cautious. I will need to start doing some research to see if I can find Abby a nesting doll that's guaranteed toddler safe for Christmas.
