3
Style your My Little Pony's mane and tail. Lots of little girls, and some other pony lovers, love styling their toy pony's mane and tail. You can't know for sure that the toy doesn't like it too! Comb, braid, brush, plait, put in clips, and adorn with flowers if you like.
4
Look up its name upon the box or the computer. If you like its name, name her/him that.
5
If you don't like that name, pick a name that suits it! If you got "Fluttershy" but think its not good enough, you can name it "Butterfly Wishes" Or, "Butterscotch" (Be creative!)
6
Make your My Little Pony toy a home. Use a box as a stable, accommodate your toy in a dolls house or make a tent! My Little Pony toys can live anywhere, even just on a shelf if you like.
7
Feed the pony. You can give your toy pretend food, little bits of real food or imaginary food. You don't have to pretend to feed it at all if you don't want to.
8
Give your toy some company, if you think it needs it. You can spend time playing with your toy or just keep it around when your doing other stuff like surfing the web, or reading a story. You can also give your My Little Pony other toys to hang out with. Other My Little Ponies are a great choice, but other toys of the miniature animal type would work too. Your My Little Pony can be best friends with a plastic dinosaur if you want it to be.
9
Make clothes, furniture, scenery or anything else you want to for your toy. You can buy these types of things too if you want. You will feel like you are caring for your toy if you make or buy things for it.
10
Keep your My Little Pony in good condition. Giving it a mud bath might seem fun at the time, but if you want to care for it, protect it from loss or damage.
11
Give a good home when you outgrow it. You don't care for a toy by throwing it away or wrecking it. Give toys you no longer want to people who'll care for them or donate them to a charity you can also give it to friends and family who like MLP.

You can love MLP at any age! And it's fine to have more than one pony, just try to treat them all the same.

Ask your mother if she's heard about Bronies. Bronies are typically older than the target audience, and that doesn't stop them from enjoying My Little Pony. Chances are, your mother may have already heard things about the fandom. If she's dubious, and believes that liking MLP at an older age is unhealthy, consider showing her Equestria Daily. This site spotlights family-friendly MLP fan content such as music, artwork, videos, and more.
Question

If I'm 10 years old, am I too old for Barbie and My Little Pony?

Community Answer

Not at all! I'm 12 and I still like My Little Pony. There is no age limit, as far as I'm concerned.
