The traditional Russian dolls where the hollow dolls each contain a smaller doll are amusing but they might have an educational possibility. Each discipline such as biology, physics, philosophy, etc. has leading historical figures whose ideas rest on a previous main thinker. An Einstein doll might have inside a Maxwell doll which has inside a Faraday doll or a Newton doll and so forth. It would be useful for young kids to arouse their curiosity about each figure. It could be easily applied to politics as well as an understanding as to where ideas originated and developed.

Very interesting.
Unfortunately, the traditional shape will make Einstein and Faraday very round and fat.
Wonder if there's a way to make the more recent scientist-doll 'stand on the shoulders' of the earlier ones? Since that's the way we always say it...
I want a Billy Graham doll. Inside that there will be Jerry Falwell, and then Pat Robertson, etc, etc, etc.
