You know that feeling when a toy is just so cute, you kind of want to keep it for yourself? That’s exactly what’s happening with Olli Ella’s new Backyard Buddies - the latest tiny treasures in their ever-charming world of play.
These little animal friends are part soft toy, part collectible, and all heart. Designed for open-ended play and maximum adorableness, they’re already flying off shelves (and into kids’ pockets, dollhouses, and pencil cases).
What Are Backyard Buddies?
Olli Ella’s Backyard Buddies are palm-sized plush animals with gentle expressions, squishy bellies, and just enough quirk to win over kids and grown-ups alike. Each one has its own sweet personality and name, and they arrive in a tiny cardboard kennel that doubles as a play home.
✔️ Suitable from birth
✔️ Small enough to travel everywhere
✔️ Designed to encourage imagination, storytelling and nurturing play
✔️ Made from the same beautiful materials you expect from Olli Ella
Whether they’re going on adventures in a doll pram or snuggling into bed beside your little one, these buddies fit right into daily life.
Why Everyone’s Obsessed Already
Let’s be real – Olli Ella just gets it when it comes to timeless toys that feel special.
The Backyard Buddies are no different. They’re a perfect mix of:
✔️ Thoughtful design
✔️ Soft textures
✔️ Wholesome vibes
✔️ And that collect-them-all energy that turns gift giving into a mini obsession
Parents love them because they’re easy to gift, great for sibling sets, and small enough to stash for future birthdays, baby showers, or “you survived the week” moments.
A Perfect Match for the Dinkum World
If you’re already deep in the Dinkum Doll universe, the Backyard Buddies slot right in.
