The Tubsy Doll was a babydoll made by Ideal in 1967 and 1968. She came with a little bath tub and was battery operated. When she was in her tub and you turned her on, her arms would move up and down to 
splash in the water.

I just bought an Ideal Tubsy doll today, I do not know how to turn her on, the paper on back is mostly missing, she appears to be in good condition, info would be helpful and appreciated. thanks
(Hi Sandy – If I remember correctly, the batteries go in her back & she works when placed in water. I don’t think there is an off/on switch. Hopefully someone will correct me if I am wrong. Suzanne)
