Doll with embracing arm movement

A doll with embracing arms and concomitant clapping hands movement. The structure features a guided movable panel in the torso of the doll which, when the doll torso is squeezed, moves to a depressed position within a receptacle within the torso so that the arms of the doll pivot about individual pivotal mountings, i.e., each of the arms is partially rotatable about a substantially vertical axis, so that the arms move towards each other as if the doll were embracing the child playing with the doll. An air actuated sound-generating member is preferably centrally mounted to the movable panel below leg panels which guide the movement of the movable panel into and out of the receptacle, and a bellows extends within the lower part of the receptacle between the sound-generating member and the rear side of the receptacle, so that when the movable panel is depressed, i.e., when the doll is squeezed by the child, the bellows forces air through the member and a cooing sound emanates from the member, i.e., from within the doll, concomitantly with the embracing movement of the arms.
