Abstract:
A doll whose arms move in a manner to simulate hair washing actions, while shampoolike foam is produced in its hair, comprising a hollow doll body with a pair of upwardly extending arms, the body having elastic walls so that when a child repeatedly squeezes the sides of the body together, the arms move up and down. The head is hollow and has numerous threads that extend through hole therein to form hair. As the elastic body is squeezed, air is pumped through the thread-holding holes, and if a soap solution has been spread on the hair, the air flowing through the holes creates foam in the hair.
