What are friends?

Friends are people who choose to be close to you and enjoy spending time together.

What Friends Do

Friends are like your favorite toys, they make you happy when you play with them, and they’re always there when you need them. When you have a friend, it means you both like doing things together, like drawing pictures, building blocks, or even just sitting quietly side by side.

Why Friends Matter

Think of friends as your team in a game. If you're playing hide-and-seek and you get lost, your friend might help you find the way back. Or if you're both trying to stack the tallest tower ever, you can work together, one person puts blocks on top, and the other keeps them steady.

Just like your favorite snack is always there for you when you’re hungry, friends are always there for you when you need someone to laugh with or cry with. They're not just people you know, they're the ones who make everyday moments extra fun.
