Gourt > Arts > Crafts > Doll Making (3)
A doll is a model of a human (often a baby), an animal, or a fictional creature (like a Troll or a Smurf), usually made of cloth or plastic. The model is often a miniature but may be of true size.
Use
Dolls usually intended as toys for children, usually girls, but are sometimes intended as keepsakes or collectibles for older children and adults. Dolls are also used for decoration, or have some cultural significance, possibly for use in some ceremony or ritual, or as a physical representaion of a deity. Anatomically-detailed dolls are also made, either for professional use (see Anatomically correct doll) or as sex toys (see Sex doll).
