Abstract
Abstract A doll assembly includes a stuffed doll body having a plastic blank face portion of a single uniform color secured to the doll head. The face portion is devoid of facial features and is formed with slight concave depressions suggesting the location of eyes and a mouth. The surface of the blank face portion is made to accept the markings of crayons or similar non-permanent drawing materials, whereby the child user may draw selected facial features thereon. A garment is provided having pockets for storing the crayons or drawing materials, and a wiping cloth for removing the drawn features when desired.
