ABSTRACT:
A doll includes a body having a torso defining a cavity housing a shelf and closed by a door. A user tears a sheet from a note pad, writes a "secret" upon the sheet, inserts the sheet into a pocket into the star-like body and inserts the latter upon the shelf. The door of the cavity is closed and the star-like body and the "secret" upon the note is displaced for subsequent reuse. The "secret" can also be written upon the sheet torn from the note pad using a pen with conventional "disappearing" ink. Preferably a door or doors of the doll is then locked by a suitable time-delay mechanism to prevent access to the note until the ink/secret has disappeared, thus telling the user/child that the "secret" has been received by the "inner child" or doll and is respected (secret) thereby through its disappearance. Further, in lieu of blank sheets, a stack of preprinted sheets or cards may be provided each with a different "secret" or message thereon which the user can select, fold, insert into the star-like body, etc.
