Jenny is an adventurous little girl who has a wild imagination. She usually sits in her playroom and plays with her 3 favourite toys, a brown haired Barbie Doll, a Pot Doll and a Cowboy but she decided that it was time for a change and she goes for a skip in the woods.

Arriving at the wood, everything seems normal to Jenny until she suddenly stops skipping. She stumbles across her 3 favourite toys but in human size all stood in a row like statues. Jenny admires the toys thinking how wonderful they are now they are bigger. Struck by surprise, Jenny starts to feel uncomfortable as the toys start to move around. They all disappear and reappear, moving around to the sound of a jack in the box. Then the atmosphere starts to change.

The toys start to shake and jump which makes Jenny feel petrified. Then, the toys change evil, with red eyes, scary faces and bodies. Jenny starts to back away but trips and falls to the ground. The toys slowly come towards her and Jenny tries to shuffle back but her foot gets caught. She feels trapped and afraid, what has happened to her toys?

The toys surround Jenny and move closer into her personal space and she screams.What happened to Jenny?
