A doll is a child's toy, usually in the form of baby or child, that represents another person during play. They are the oldest known toys, and have been found in Ancient Egyptian tombs. Though most people think of dolls as a child's plaything, adults collect dolls as well and many cultures have their own types of dolls, such as Kachina dolls, Russian dolls, and Voodoo dolls.
