Plush GENESIS
My Friend Cayla Party Time, from Genesis, is a new twist on the My Friend Cayla doll.

Kids can place Cayla’s accessories in her hand and she will discuss and describe each item. In addition to her Party Time accessories, Cayla also has kitchen, hair salon, and beauty accessory packs that she can talk about. My Friend Cayla is designed for kids ages 4 and up.
