toyish

Like a plaything

Toyish describes something resembling or characteristic of a toy—small, playful, or lacking seriousness.

It often carries a dismissive tone, suggesting something is flimsy or not suitable for serious use: The car's toyish steering made highway driving unnerving.

Can also mean playfully childlike: a toyish sense of humor.
