If your child is a fan of the Sesame Street muppets, you may be wondering, "Where can I purchase Abby Cadabby," a newer character on the ever-popular children's show. While it's hard to find one of these toys at your local department store, the good news is you can purchase various types of Abby Cadabby dolls at several stores online.
Who Is Abby Cadabby?
In 2006, at the beginning of Sesame Street's 37th season, three-year-old Abby Cadabby (a play on the word abracadabra) was introduced and was the first new female character on the show in 13 years. She is a fairy-in-training and playmates with Elmo, Rosita, Zoe and Baby Bear. Abby Cadabby was brought on the show to teach lessons about cultural diversity and differences.
She has magical powers that allow her to disappear and reappear at any given time, floating around when she's happy and turning different items into pumpkins. Her catchphrase is, "It's so magical!" Her wand doubles as a cell phone, which she uses frequently to keep in touch with her mother. She also speaks the make believe language of Dragonfly, which she is teaching to other friends on Sesame Street.
