Using this value
Either form of this value goes in the google_product_category attribute: the numeric ID (8021) or the full path ("Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Paper & Magnetic Dolls"). Both are predefined values for the same category. The ID is the sturdier of the two, because renaming any segment above this one changes the path text and leaves the number alone.
Bear in mind that google_product_category is an optional attribute. Google assigns a category automatically, and your value is treated as a signal rather than an override. When an override actually applies.
In your feed, it looks like this
Either row below is accepted. The first is the one to send.

| SKU-1001 | Your product title | "Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Paper & Magnetic Dolls" |
This path contains a comma, so the cell has to be quoted: unquoted, a CSV reader splits "Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Paper & Magnetic Dolls" into 2 columns and the row stops lining up with its header. The numeric ID, 8021, contains no comma.
Questions about Paper & Magnetic Dolls
What is the Google product category ID for Paper & Magnetic Dolls?
8021. The full path, "Toys & Games > Toys > Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures > Paper & Magnetic Dolls", is the same category written the other way. The ID is shorter, and renaming a segment above this one changes the path text while leaving the number alone.
Is anything more specific than Paper & Magnetic Dolls available?
No. Paper & Magnetic Dolls is a leaf of Google's taxonomy at level 4, so 8021 is the most precise value this branch offers. If it does not describe your product closely enough, the answer is a different branch, not a deeper one.
Where does Paper & Magnetic Dolls sit in the taxonomy?
At level 4, under Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures (1255). The chain from the top is Toys & Games → Toys → Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures → Paper & Magnetic Dolls. If your product does not belong under Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures, it does not belong here either — check the level above before going deeper.
What should I use if Paper & Magnetic Dolls is not quite right?

If none of them fits either, the problem is higher up: go back to Dolls, Playsets & Toy Figures (1255) and pick a different branch from there rather than settling for the closest thing on this one.
