Abstract
A doll having the appearance and physical characteristics of a new born baby includes a hollow body and head interconnected at the neck and a hollow sealed bladder is mounted in the head having a smaller volume and a flexible wall portion secured to an inside surface. The hollow bladder is filled with a plurality of discrete, particles such as sand grains or beans flowable and movable freely about within the bladder to change the shape and change the center of gravity of the doll's head when the body or head is moved. Similarly, another body bladder is mounted in the hollow body with a volume somewhat less than the volume of the body and this bladder is formed with a flexible wall and filled with similar discrete, flowable particles so that the center of gravity of the doll's body is changed as the body or head is moved. Thus, the doll of the present invention feels and handles like a real-life, young baby.
