A small, round, and plump person or thing. The toddler was a roly-poly, waddling around the playground with a big smile.
A type of dessert made by spreading jam or fruit on a flat piece of dough, rolling it up, and baking it. For dessert, we had a delicious roly-poly filled with raspberry jam.
A pill bug or woodlouse, known for its ability to roll into a ball. The children were fascinated by the roly-poly they found under the log in the garden.
A weighted toy that rights itself when pushed over; a tumbler toy. The baby giggled as the roly-poly rocked back upright.
