ABSTRACT:
A stuffed doll or toy includes a main body section from which a plurality of appendages extend, representative of arms and legs. A displaceable panel or layer is shiftably attached to the fabric of the main body section and may include representations of facial features. A user of the doll may selectively open the displaceable panel to expose one or more intermediate layers therebeneath, each capable of housing a photograph or identification sheet. Separable fastener elements such as hook and loop components serve to attach the displaceable panel and intermediate layer(s) in a closed position substantially flush with the main body section. Projections from the panel may be grasped to displace the panel and expose the intermediate layer(s). Each intermediate layer is provided with a backing member and a slotted overlying transparent member to accommodate photographs or ID sheets inserted therebetween.
