Not all instances of playing with something are equal. In terms of total interactions the females played with both the same number of instances but they also played with the dolls a significantly longer period of time.

Specifically talking about this paper:

It seems the duration shows the same pattern as counting the number of interactions:

"males interacted for a greater total time with wheeled than with plush objects while females did not differ in the duration of interactions with the toy types"
