I didn’t actually get my doll until I was in my 4th or 5th generation, eventually after the series of events on of the kids will start running to the back yard in the right behind the tent & they will go into the trees & come out with the doll on their own, nothing you can do to make them as far as I know. Whatever you do though, do not bother the kid when they are running in that direction, if you do I don’t know how long it will take for them to go again.
