  • This invention relates to dolls, and more particularly to a combination doll and accessory apparatus.
  • dolls which are capable of performing simulated human functions. These include dolls that walk, dance, apparently verbally respond to external stimulus, and the like. There has further been the development of dolls which can apparently participate with the child in some sort of an activity. These include dolls that repeat or simulate writing in unison with writing movements of the child by interconnecting mechanism, as well as dolls which apparently perform such activities as operating an electric mixer within a mixing bowl. Those dolls which appear to be capable of simulating human functions in response to instructions, usually in the form of instructional manual manipulations, are of greater curiosity to children as well as furthering their education and developing manual dexterity. This invention is directed towards contributing to the continuing need and desire in the art to provide an improved doll which is capable of simulating human functions and participating with a child.
  • This invention is directed, in brief, to the provision of an improved doll and related auxiliary apparatus for performing a simulated human function.
  • the principal object, therefore, of the present invention is to provide a combination doll and accessory set of the character described.
