Abstract
Abstract A combination toy including a doll, a cup having a protruding lip, and a chamber pot or pot chair with which a child can play to feed the doll and place it on the pot chair for elimination of liquid from the doll. The doll also has a recorded speaking mechanism mounted internally and a programming system responsive to removal of the cup lip from the doll''s mouth and/or responsive to seating of the doll upon the potty chair for actuating the record player mechanism to play appropriate portions of a prerecorded message with the record player programmed to turn off after each portion of the message has been played. A system is also provided for moving the lips of the doll during playing of each portion of the message to simulate movement during talking. After the entire message has been played, the recording mechanism is programmed to replay.
