الملخص EN

It was noted that Egyptian-style child dolls are very rare, however imported dolls which represent foreign personalities are very spread in the Egyptian markets, which may negatively affect the identity of the Egyptian child.

although there are lots of types of Egyptian folklore, which is one of the most important elements of the Egyptian identity, and which can represent a source for designing child dolls with an authentic Egyptian character.

especially the heritage of the Bahari district in Alexandria, which did not receive its sufficient share of research and benefit from it in useful recent applications; therefore, the "historical approach" was used to achieve the research objectives related to identifying the characteristics of the clothing folklore of the Bahari district in Alexandria, and the "descriptive approach" was used with analysis and application, to achieve the goals related to designing (10) children's dolls by quoting from the Alexandrian heritage, and then asking (17) specialized academics about their opinions towards it, and after statistical processing, (5) dolls with the highest scores were implemented, then asking a sample of (20) dolls merchants about their opinions towards them, as well as measuring the acceptance of a sample of (74) consumers (children from 12:6 years old).

then determining the quality level of the dolls according to the total score of the academics, merchants and consumers.

by statistical processing, it was found that the designs quality level was between (64.72: 70.71%).

the results also showed the positive role of dolls in increasing children’s knowledge of the Alexandrian heritage; as it was found that there was a statistically significant difference at (0.01) between the average scores of the children in the pre- and post-tests in favor of the post-test.

this proves the positive and effective role of using the proposed dolls in consolidating the Egyptian identity among children.
