Dolls have been a companion of man since time immemorial: they were found during excavations in places of residence of ancient civilizations and nationalities. Little men or animals are made in the likeness of their living prototypes using imagination and a miniature creator. They got "roles" on stage, were the main characters in the books, and outlived their creators.
Revitalize Creation
Puppet dealers have made many attempts to revitalize their creations, to endow them with “intelligence”, to get them to talk, sing or dance. The famous Thomas Edison (the one who came up with the light bulb) decided that the talking doll is what buyers are looking forward to, and worked hard to create such a puppet.
Unfortunately, the unique project of Thomas, which he began with such success, failed miserably due to the fragility of serial products. And the text "spoken" on a wax medium was short-lived, which did not suit buyers. To this day, a recording of one song, which was performed by a talking doll of Edison, has been preserved.
The modern puppet industry is rich in such inventions, especially since the latest, including computer, technologies make it possible to create mechanisms of incredible complexity. You won’t surprise anyone anymore when the talking doll clearly and distinctly says: “dad”, “mother”, “play with me”. They "learned" not only to talk, but also to express emotions: to laugh, cry, kiss.
A modern doll can become a true friend and teacher for children: tell tales, fascinating stories, teach a foreign language and much more. By “playing” with a toy, the child will learn to speak correctly, build sentences, and replenish his vocabulary. The best part is that the program embedded in the product can be replaced, supplemented, and even choose the puppet repertoire necessary for the child at its discretion.
How to choose a toy
If the child is interested in the talking doll, and the parents are ready to purchase it, then they should pay attention to the following factors:
- gender of the child;
- age;
- hobbies.
According to these parameters, it is easier for mothers and fathers to determine what should be inherent in the toy: vocabulary, functionality, compliance with the child’s preferences. It can be a big talking doll or soft-stuffed baby doll. The girl will certainly enjoy the small baby doll she can swaddle, put to bed, feed, give a nipple and listen to him laugh and burst. The voice of the toy can be turned off at any time.
The little daughter will surely be delighted when a surprise in her beautiful packaging awaits her birthday: a doll that walks and speaks Russian and English. Now the girl, imitating her mother, will take care of her new friend: she can be put on and taken for a walk for a walk. Names of dolls can be very diverse, as well as their appearance and growth. They work from batteries: finger-type or small “tablets” (as for watches).
Let your little daughter know that she has a faithful toy girlfriend.
