Thermally activated doll

Abstract

A thermally activated toy includes a toy body having a cheek part having an insulating material connected thereto in a manner which substantially prevents thermal migration to a surrounding head part of the body. A thermally activated material is connected to the cheek part and is characterized to be of a first color in a first temperature range and of a second color in a second temperature range and which changes color upon temperature with the temperature moving between the ranges. The toy further includes a thermally activated animation device which is operably connected to the toy.
