Theushabti (also called shabti or shawabti, with a number of variant spellings) funerary figurines were placed in tombs among the grave goods and were intended to act as substitutes for the deceased, should he/she be called upon to do manual labor in the afterlife.I'm not smart so i copied and pasted...I'm learning about ancient Egypt so I asked the same question.

Paddle dolls were used in Egyptian burials, mostly during the Middle Kingdom. They were dolls which were flat, naked, and had jewelry painted on them.

There are so many that I cannot be able to count. but i can give you some examples; the shabti, the headrest, the mirror, an amulet, jewellery of all kinds! As you can now sees that I could stay all day long counting all the different types of Ancient Egyptian Artefact's!!!
they had games and dolls, not like the game's and doll's we have today though.
The Shabti figures which were placed in Egyptian tombs to do the work of the dead, were made from various materials, including wax, clay, wood, stone, terracotta and rarely bronze or glass, but the most common material was faience.According to Paul Nicholson in "Ancient Egyptian Materials and Technology", Faience is a glazed non-clay ceramic material. It is composed mainly of crushed quartz or sand, with small amounts of lime and either natron or plant ash. This body is coated with a soda-lime-silica glaze that is generally a bright blue-green colour due the presence of copper.In other words, it is a material very similar to our modern day tile, and is still used in parts of the world to form beads.
A Shabti.
