Abstract
Abstract The doll is considered a "Twin" for a child. It is a method for making a twin doll for a newborn child in which the newborn child has vital statistics including the name, date of birth, weight, length, handprints and footprints. The doll is constructed to have the exact length of the newborn child and to have the exact weight of the newborn child. The imprints of the newborn child are placed on the palm of the hands and the sole of the feet of the doll. The weight, length and imprints remain fixed and the doll is indeed a "replica" of the newborn child. Vital statistics including date of birth and name are also inscribed on the doll.
