A combination has a flat fabric doll with applied grommets for attaching reversible clothing and accessories. A doll head and torso joins by sewing to a front surface with arms and legs extending from beneath and adding depth to the doll. Grommets join to the torso and to reversible clothing. A brad or button threaded with pipe cleaner passes through the reversible clothing grommet and the doll torso grommet and exits the rear surface and bends for securement. A grommet applied above the head on the front surface receives a fabric loop for holding flat a doll during play. The invention also has another loop or label upon the rear surface that secures the doll to a stand by slipping over an upright pole of the stand.

An embodiment of the invention providing a butterfly emulation by a structure including a body and attached wings that are folded, covered, and initially contained in cocoon-like structure, and the user participates in unfolding and establishment of an emerged butterfly. Moreover, the emerged and unfolded butterfly (or other phenomenon of nature) is movable in a life-like motion by the user. Further novel embodiments include different hard and soft covering or containing structures. Such containing structures may also include devices and systems to allow the amusement device to emulate natural phenomenon changes such as the emergence of the butterfly in response to cycles or conditions (e.g. light, sound and/or temperature) sensed from the environment surrounding the butterfly structure, and containing structure.
