The Barbie brand is one of the most iconic toy brands in history. The brand was created by Ruth Handler in 1959, and since then, the Barbie doll has become a household name. The original Barbie doll, with her blonde hair and hourglass figure, has gone through numerous transformations over the years to represent more diverse and inclusive body types. The dolls have also evolved to be more inclusive, with dolls of different races, skin conditions, hair colours and abilities.

The brand has been praised for promoting important messages such as empowerment, diversity, and female achievement, with Barbie dolls representing real-life female role models such as Frida Kahlo and Amelia Earhart. Hence, inspiring generations of girls to be confident and to pursue their dreams. The Barbie brand and dolls continue to capture the hearts and imaginations of children worldwide.

The play value of Barbie dolls is immense. Children can use their imagination to create different scenarios for their dolls, from going on adventures to attending parties and even starting businesses. Barbie dolls come in different outfits and accessories which allow children to mix and match, developing their creativity and problem-solving skills. The dolls also help children develop their social skills as they can play with friends and siblings, learning to share and take turns.
