Interactive Doll

Abstract

An interactive doll is disclosed where the doll can exhibit symptoms of being sick or healthy. When the user turns the doll on, the doll is healthy. After a period of time, the doll becomes sick. The user can observe different parts of the doll to determine whether the doll is sick or healthy. If the doll is sick, the user can take corrective measures to return the doll to full health.
