You can use "Spielzeug" for a single toy, but the German here sounds more as if "Spielzeug" were a mass noun which would be translated as "the toys". For a single toy you would rather specify "die Puppe, den Teddy, das Puppenhaus ...".
Spielzeug as a mass noun is very common: "Räum dein Spielzeug auf." "Tidy up your toys."
