The Manhattan Toy Playdate Friends is designed for toddlers ages 1–3 years who are beginning to explore imaginative play, nurturing role-play, and emotional connection. Nico is a soft, friendly doll that helps little ones practice caring behaviors, build empathy, and develop fine motor skills through everyday play activities like dressing, cuddling, and pretend caregiving. Paired with an adorable chicken companion, this charming playset encourages interactive storytelling and gentle companionship during playtime.
Nico features removable clothing that allows toddlers to practice dressing and undressing, supporting hand-eye coordination and dexterity. A sewn-on white onesie with embroidered details adds safety and durability, while the soft chicken companion, with its removable scarf, adds another layer of imaginative engagement.
