toy
Gift from Santa
A toy is an object for play, especially one designed for children: dolls, blocks, action figures.
By extension, toy describes anything small or miniature: a toy poodle, a toy train.
Adults have toys too—gadgets, sports cars, electronics acquired for pleasure rather than necessity.
To toy with something is to handle it idly or consider it without commitment: She toyed with her food.
To toy with someone is to manipulate them, often romantically: He was just toying with her.
