STORY

Friendy April woke up with excitement buzzing in her heart, ready for her trip downtown with her beloved Corgi, Timmy. She carefully put on her favorite beanie hat and slung her cute little backpack over her shoulders. Together, they set off on their adventure. Downtown was alive with energy, brimming with bright and lively scenes. April and Timmy explored the farmer’s market, where April bought fresh flowers to decorate her room and a special treat for Timmy. They visited a quaint bookstore, where Timmy curiously sniffed around while April found a new adventure novel. They ended their day at a cozy café, sharing a delicious slice of cake. As the sun set, they walked home, happy and tired from their delightful adventure.

The Friendies are little cuties that live in children’s rooms, in old boxes full of toys. Most of the time, they look like ordinary toys, but they come to life once the room is empty. The Friendies then leave their box on tiptoe and put the toys scattered around the room back to their usual places. Sometimes, when they feel very tired, the Friendies fall asleep on the bed, not making it back to their box. When you find a Friendy laying on the bed, then you clearly think that it was you who put her there. But if you ever look through the keyhole before you enter the room, you will probably see your Friendy silently walking around, collecting and putting the toys away.

These little cuties are great helpers and will be very happy to settle in every children’s room. Your kids are gonna love them! Make a Friendy!

Friendy April with Timmy the Corgi is the fourteenth doll from the “AradiyaToys Friendies” collection.
