There are many toys and items in the game to give islands a child-like appearance, and it’s even more enjoyable when a villager runs around with their arms extended like a kid. Characters with the play hobby can play with an airplane or run with their arms out anywhere on the island, whereas other villagers have to be in the plaza to do this. All villagers with the play hobby are perfect to be wandering a player’s island when Children’s Day rolls around.
8Flora
Florais a peppy flamingo basedon the ostrich character model. Her pink coloring, large curved beak, feathered wings and tail, and light-colored legs all enforce her flamingo appearance.
