Toy
This article is about playthings. For other uses of the term, see
Toy (disambiguation). A toy is an object used in
play. Toys are usually associated with
children and
pets, but it is not unusual for
adult humans and some non-
domesticated
animals to play with toys. Many items are manufactured to serve as toys, but items produced for other purposes can also be used as toys. A child may pick up a household item and 'fly' it around pretending that it is an airplane, or an animal might play with a
pinecone by batting at it, chasing it, and throwing it up in the air. Some toys are intended primarily as
collector's items and are not to be played with.
