Abstract: A dollhouse is moveable from a closed or folded position to an open or unfolded position. In its open configuration, the dollhouse provides one or more play areas on each side of the dollhouse. The dollhouse can be provided with a variety of sensors for detecting play activities and providing feedback such as audible feedback, motion or lights in response to the specific play activities. Feedback can also be produced in response to the order in which the sensors are activated and in response to activation by particular play components to encourage desired play behavior.

Abstract: The components of the system include a set of armatures and retention mechanisms that enable the construction of projects using beads where the beads are retained on the armature by the retention mechanism, but the beads can be removed without the use of tools or excessive force. This set of components provides a system to be used as a toy or craft project. The beads can be removed, replaced and reorganized to change the design and provide a high level of re-usability and playability for children and in crafting.

Abstract: A doll playset includes a padded cloth pouch having an interior within which a small doll heartbeat and kick simulating unit are received and supported. A pair of shoulder straps are secured to the pouch to facilitate the wearing of the pouch on the front abdominal area of a child user. The heartbeat and kick simulator includes a motor driven mechanism which produces undulating motion of a pair of kick simulating buttons supported upon the front surface of the simulator. A triangular cam is coupled to the undulating mechanism to provide flexing of an elongated resilient sounder resulting in heartbeat-like sounds when the unit is activated. A push button is supported upon the front surface of the simulator and may be depressed to operate the unit from the exterior of the cloth pouch.

Abstract: A bubble dispensing doll includes a hollow torso and head configured to resemble a mermaid. The doll head supports a quantity of simulated hair and a head piece ornament preferably formed in the configuration of a crown or the like. A bubble producing mechanism is formed into an integral self-supporting mechanism which is received and supported within an upper aperture of the doll's head. The majority of the bubble producing mechanism is received within the head and torso cavity of the doll and includes a battery-powered air impeller which drives an air stream through a foaming chamber within the bubble producing mechanism.

Abstract: A foam dispensing doll includes a head and body coupled together at a neck joint and defining an interior cavity therein. A generally cylindrical canister sleeve is supported within the doll body and head cavity and extends through a passage formed in the neck joint. The canister sleeve defines a closed end within the doll body and an open end extending upwardly through an aperture formed in the doll head. A generally cylindrical soap canister having a quantity of pressurized soap foam stored therein includes an upwardly extending pivotable valve. The cylindrical soap canister is received within the canister sleeve such that the valve extends upwardly beyond the doll's head.

Abstract: A doll including a body and appendages, a plurality of light positioned to light on portions of the doll, apparatus positioned within the doll for projecting an image to focus at a point outside of the doll, and apparatus for causing the lights to light in a predetermined sequence and the image to be projected from the doll.

Abstract: A doll including a body, the body being shaped to depict the body of a mermaid, a head, the body and head having generally hollow interiors, apparatus positioned within the body and the head for providing sound, and apparatus for activating the apparatus for providing sound.

Abstract: A toy doll having a kiss activated play feature includes a doll having a torso, arm and leg appendages, and a head pivotally secured by a neck extension to the torso. A plurality of sparkle elements are supported on the doll exterior and an electronic energizing circuit for the sparkle elements is supported within a cavity located in the doll torso. The head is supported by a neck extension in a pivotal attachment in which a switch supported within the torso is actuated by backward motion or tilting of the doll head with respect to the torso. A return spring is provided which urges the head to a vertical position and which resists the backward tilting of the head. The child actuates the flashing of the sparkle elements by kissing or caressing the face or frontal area of the doll head with sufficient force to overcome the spring and tilt the head back a sufficient distance to actuate the flashing switch.

Abstract: A doll is fabricated of a combination of waterproof materials together with overlying fabric layers formed of a water dissolvable fabric. In addition, embodiments are shown in which facial appearance features are formed of a water dissolvable material to alter the facial appearance of the doll. In its intended use, the doll is immersed in a vessel of water causing the dissolvable fabric layers and dissolvable facial appearance elements to be completely removed from the doll exposing the underlying waterproof elements.
