Plastic soleplate is provided with apertures, a red filter above the apertures, a light bulb above the filter and a lightimpervious, upstanding side wall to which a handle-carrying, light-impervious cover is affixed. Red light glows through light apertures when bulb is lit to simulate a hot iron. The flatiron is small enough to serve as a doll accessory simulating an iron which would be used by the doll and the iron is also suitable for use by a child-user.
