As for the third chapter, the researcher carried out an applied study in designing a doll, as she relied on the indicators of the theoretical framework in its design. As for the fourth chapter, the results were presented and discussed according to what emerged from the design of the doll, and then the conclusions, and in light of the conclusions, the researcher formulated her recommendations.
