  • Patent number: 4911670
    Abstract: An educational doll kit is provided including a flat doll body to which doll clothing is removably attachable by means of hook-and-loop fasteners. One component of the fasteners is permanently affixed to the doll body and formulated to simulate undergarments, making the act of dressing the doll more realistic and ensuring that the fastener will not be exposed to view when a garment is properly applied. The kit includes a mounting board on which an environmental setting may be depicted and which can be refined by the application of scenic components, likewise removably attachable by means of hook-and-loop fasteners. Both the articles of clothing and the scenic components are of an improved construction enabling them to more closely simulate, respectively, actual clothing and envionrmental objects. The doll kit can provide an educational experience to children, teaching them the type of clothing which would be appropriate for a selected environmental setting.
