Educational toys

Abstract

Improvements in figure toys, such as dolls which are configured, decorated, clothed and provided with toys and accessories to educate and entertain, to simulate growth and provide the appearance of the same living being or person at different stages of growth and development. In one form, a series of lifesize or scaled dolls or figure toys are each constructed and facially shaped to represent the same living being or person at a different age or stage in its development. In a particular form, baby dolls are designed and constructed to represent the same person shortly after birth, six months old, twelve months old, two and three years old. In such form, all dolls are manufactured and constructed approximately to scale if not full size. The facial features of one doll are substantially those of the other dolls at their respective simulated ages. Clothing and accessories for each doll are those which would normally be provided to dress a baby or child of a similar age. In another form, accessories, such as a birth certificate, innoculation papers, graduation or promotion papers, and other documents associated with a growing person or child, are provided to educate and teach children owning such series of dolls as are other accessories such as those generally associated with infants and children of different ages such as a feeding bottle, a pacifier, toys, head gear, etc.
