Thumbs up Great Adoption Gift!

I found these really cool Matroyshka doll sets that you can paint yourself!
A client had them, so I got two sets!
Kookle Gifts

I picked up one for us and thought the other would be a great gift!

(Hope it's okay for me to post this?)

Those are really cool, but a bit pricey. I was thinking of getting enough for my son's class, or enough to use as an activity at a kid's party...but at $26 a pop, that ain't happening. So I might spring for a single set that Henry can paint. We have several sets around the house that we brought home with us.
