ABSTRACT:
A combination doll and educational activity playset allows a youthful user to playact in adult activities and careers without social pressure respecting compliance with idealized expectations as to weight and figure. A wardrobe, props and instructions sheets respecting the careers and activities are provided. The doll is assembled from a headless body, a hairless head chosen from a range of heads likely to resemble the user in later years, and a hair wig that likewise is intended to resemble the user. The doll body has only an average figure, for example representing a 15% body fat level that is distributed relatively more to the girth and hips than elsewhere. The heads and hair wigs resemble a range of appearances, such as different ethnic or racial types. The realistic body and user-resembling features can resemble the mother of the children who play with the doll. Social pressure to have a perfect slim figure is reduced, with emphasis more appropriately directed to roll playing in adult activities and situations, without emphasis on perfect bodily form.
