A paper doll is a two-dimensional figure drawn or printed on paper for which accompanying clothing has also been made. The body clothing has been drawn in such a way that it fits the way the body is posed. Usually, paper tabs are attached to the clothing which fit into slits around the doll to temporarily affix the clothing. They are a traditional children's toy. Modern day versions include magnetised dolls which can be stuck to the fridge, or reusable stickers. The dolls may also come with accessories drawn to fit in their hands as well as clothing. I remember making my own as a child - they are a cheap toy to make if you have the abilities.
