Abstract
An animated doll includes a body having a head with a face including a mouth defined by lips formed of flexible material. An operator is secured to the lips behind the face and is reciprocated to move the lips inwardly and outwardly in a suckling type action. The nipple of a nursing bottle or the thumb of the doll's hand is manually insertable into the doll's mouth to provide realism when the lips are activated as described.
