Tips

register
小盆友 is a 谐音 (homophone-play) respelling of 小朋友 that mimics how a young child or cutesy anime character might slightly mispronounce (péng) as (pén). Heavy online/cute-speak register — common in bullet-comments (弹幕), live-streams, and messaging with friends. Writing it in a formal document would be extremely odd.
