Abstract
An animated doll includes a hollow head and body formed with a wall of thin flexible material and having a face with a forward side with a mouth cavity defined therein including movable upper and lower lips. The mouth cavity is adapted to hold a quantity of food and includes a wall portion which is deflectable to expel food from the mouth between the lips simulating the action of a young child learning to eat solid food. The doll includes a first operator for moving the lips to open and close to animate chewing and a second operator for moving the inside wall of the mouth outwardly between the lips to eject or spit out food with an outward tongue thrust.
