Blooming Dolls was a line of dolls which were among the first products that launched the toy company Cap Toys. They first appeared to be soft, brightly colored potted flowers, but then they came to life to surprise everyone. By putting your hand underneath and up through the flowerpot, a doll’s head would emerge to play peek-a-boo. Folding down the pot, a fully dressed doll was exposed, which could be played as a full-size puppet. Lastly, by folding and stuffing the flowerpot (fabric) up within the doll, it bloomed into a posable doll.
