Plot

The adventures of a young girl (Chloe) and her friends (Tara, Jet, Danny, Riley, Lillian, Mac and Carys) and her toys (Lovely Carrot, Wizz and Soggy) as they go on magical adventures while playing dress-up in her closet in her room.

Characters

• Chloe Corbin (voiced by Eleanor Webster) is the main protagonist of the series. She is a Welsh 4-year-old girl with a big imagination. She's created her own imaginary world that she and her friends regularly use when playing dress-up and having adventures in a closet in her room, and has designs on being a historian. Chloe has a kind heart and is always up for adventure. Her catchphrases are "Lollipops!", "Pickles!", "Anything is possible in my world.", "Not in my world.", "They are in my world." and "Anything can happen in my world."
• Lovely Carrot (voiced by Paul Tylak) is a plush toy and security blanket that Chloe owns, and is her imaginary friend. He's a small yellow blanket, with a toy duck head attached. In Chloe's imaginary world, Lovely Carrot comes to life. He's always trying to help Chloe out and look after her, but he can be a bit of a klutz. He is a brave, friendly and gentle gentleman. His catchphrases are "No worries!" and "Flying feathers!"
• Tara Jansen (voiced by Siobhán Ní Thuairisg) is Chloe's best friend who is a redheaded Irish girl. Being half a year older than her friends, she considers herself to be older and wiser. Sometimes, Tara can be a bit bossy and usually tries to take charge on adventures. She never quite seems to get that's Chloe's job, though.
• James "Jet" Horton (voiced by Oisín Kerans) is Chloe's English best friend who is male. He usually tries to turn play time towards more boyish games, but is always there to help her out. He has a crush on Danny.
• Daniela "Danny" Rylant (voiced by Charly Ann Brookman in season 1 and Hana Evans in season 2) is Chloe's Scottish tomboy friend who is 4 years old. She prefers puddle jumping rather than playing with dolls and also loves preparing food. She's always up for an adventure, but can be a bit too competitive for her own good at times.^[3]
• Riley Harris (voiced by Derry McCafferey) is Chloe's friend who is a Black British boy.
• Lillian "Lil" McGwire (voiced by Jasmine Belson) is Chloe's friend who is Welsh. She loves more girly activities. She tends to criticize herself and sometimes needs to be convinced to give new things a try.
• Marcus "Mac" McGwire (voiced by Daniel Keogh in season 1 and Lola Davies in season 2) is Lillian's younger brother. He's still learning to talk, but usually manages to get the point across. Mac looks up to his sister and the two tend to get along fairly well.
• Carys Mozart (voiced by Anna Webster) is Chloe's friend who is a Welsh 4-year-old girl and she likes ponies. She only appeared in season 2.
• Hootie-Hoo is Chloe's toy owl.
• Soggy is Chloe's toy frog.
• Wizz is Chloe's mechanical toy dog.
