What are the benefits of children playing with Barbies?

Benefits of children playing with Barbies include building creativity skills, learning interaction skills, exploring career opportunities and role-playing. Barbie allows children to explore and build their creativity by dressing her and playing with her accessories, such as cars, homes and airplanes.

When children play with Barbies in a group, they learn interaction skills by working together to dress their dolls and creating a scenario in which the dolls interact with each other. With so many Barbies available, children can choose a career Barbie and role-play careers such as doctor, business executive and flight attendant. Barbies teach children how to role-play as they create worlds, friends and make believe situations for their dolls.
