dolls

Miniature human playthings

Dolls are figures resembling humans or animals, typically used as children's toys.

A doll can be simple or elaborate—from rag dolls to porcelain collectibles to action figures.

To doll up is to dress elaborately or apply heavy makeup.

Calling someone a doll is dated slang for an attractive person or a term of endearment: Thanks, you're a doll.
