ABSTRACT:
A multicharacter doll has four simulated figures. Each figure includes a torso that extends radially from a central body portion to a head disposed at a free end. A garment covers the central body portion and drapes over three of the four simulated figures so that a single figure remains undraped and the other figures are hidden from view. Each figure has an appearance representative of a person from a culture different from a culture of a person represented by any of the other simulated figures, and each figure has a passport book attached to it, which passport book includes indicia giving information on the country and culture represented by the simulated figure to which the passbook is attached. A method of teaching includes steps of turning the multicharacter doll to present any of the four simulated figures, whereby when each figure is presented participants in a social studies are allowed to inspect the figure and the passport book while a teacher discussed the country or culture represented by the figure. A method of making the multicharacter doll includes steps of fashioning the figures and a skirt garment that accomodates four figures in a manner consistent with the multicharacter doll and the method of teaching with it.
