What do teachers say?
Some kids are shy about English, especially in the classroom. Buddy gives them 1-on-1 attention and as much practice as they want, which boosts their self-esteem. Buddy is so fun, kids talk to him like he's their friend.
The challenge with language learning is that it should not be limited to the classroom. Buddy offers unlimited spoken practice, which is normally so difficult to find. Kids don’t see playing with Buddy as a learning process. A great addition to regular English classes.
We teachers are now dealing with digital natives, and sometimes it's hard for our generation to connect with theirs. Buddy helps us make that critical connection - Joking about Buddy or using examples from his practices helps us keep children’s attention on the topic. I must admit Buddy is a good assistant teacher.
Guess what kids are saying
I love it helps me learn English to go to places that speak English ♥️♥️♥️
I love Buddy, he is so much fun! And my mom gives me her tablet without doubt now.
What about parents?
Before Buddy, we couldn’t get our daughter interested in learning English. Now she is happy to play with Buddy every day. We don't have to force her, she just loves it.
I don’t have enough knowledge of English myself to teach my sons but I think English is a must-have now. Language should be learned constantly, and Buddy is a great help here!
After Buddy, Alonso is really excited about learning English – Buddy keeps him interested in learning through playing, and now when we are singing around the house he signs along even if he does not understand the lyrics.
Disk sensei 1 4. The My Buddy doll line was a toy brand made by Hasbro in 1985 with the intention of making a doll to appeal to little boys and teach them about caring for their friends.[1] This idea was both innovative and controversial for its time, as toy dolls were traditionally associated with younger girls.[2] Hasbro also introduced a companion Kid Sister marketed toward girls. Hasbro discontinued the line before the start of the 1990s and Playskool took over production, making changes to the likeness and clothing.
My Buddy is one of several dolls said to be the inspiration for Chucky, the evil doll from Child's Play.[3][4]
Hasbro[edit]
During its initial run, My Buddy had the following characteristics:
- red baseball cap
- brown hair
- red/yellow/blue/white striped long-sleeved shirt
- red overalls with 'My Buddy' logo on chest
- white socks
- blue shoes with white stripe
- the whole doll (besides head) was stuffed fabric.
- face had blue or brown eyes, freckles, 'button' nose, and smile
Two versions of the dolls existed: the brown-haired version described above, and a blond version:
- blue baseball cap
- blond hair
- red/yellow/blue/white striped long-sleeved shirt
- blue overalls with 'My Buddy' logo on chest
- white socks
- red shoes with white stripe
- the whole doll (besides head) was stuffed fabric.
- face had blue or brown eyes, freckles, 'button' nose, and smile
An African American version, outfitted the same as the brown-haired Caucasian doll, was available.
Playskool[edit]
The dolls released by Playskool in the 1990s were made with unremovable clothing sewn directly onto the doll's body. The new Kid Sister was also released with clothes sewn onto the body, despite complaints, making it virtually impossible to dress it in different outfits. This was done to reduce the extra cost of having to produce clothes separately, so it was all kept on one assembly line.
Advertising[edit]
The 'official' song used in marketing the doll in advertisements was:
'My Buddy, My Buddy,
Wherever I go, he goes.
My Buddy, My Buddy,
I'll teach him everything that I know.
Wherever I go, he goes.
My Buddy, My Buddy,
I'll teach him everything that I know.
My Buddy and me,
Like to climb up a tree.
My buddy and me,
Right font 5 5 4 cr2 disc. We're the best friends that could be.

My buddy and me,

In popular culture[edit]
