ABSTRACT:
A doll play set including a doll figure and a doll house. The doll house is open access, having a circular floor and three radially-extending upright walls defining three areas for play within a generally hemispherical outline or outer shape. The doll house is rotatably mounted on a base to afford ready access to all the areas. A receptacle for the doll figure is provided at the upper center of the doll house. There is a playhouse cover of flexible material, conforming to the hemispherical shape of the doll house, and being supported solely by the walls. The cover has a central opening to afford access to the receptacle. The components are proportioned to permit both (1) the doll to be placed in the receptacle up to its waist, with the cover over the doll house giving the appearance of an oversized skirt, and (2) the doll to be placed and played with in the play areas, the doll being shorter than the walls. The illustrated walls have sections pivotally mounted for movement between positions within the doll house outline and positions outwardly of such outline to enlarge the effective play areas. The sections may represent household articles such as furniture or appliances. Further, the sections may represent one article when in one position and a different article when in a different position.
