Retro Barbie Games


The Barbie games that date back to the past are the most interesting Barbie games I’ve seen of late. I was recently walking down the toy aisle and saw some Barbie games that actually made me stop and pay attention. The Barbie games box in front of me was holding a Barbie with blonde hair and a peach ball gown. The dress had rhinestones and sparkles over a sweetheart neckline and a long flowing peach skirt.

I was totally amazed. The last time I’d seen that particular Barbie was about twenty years ago when I was playing with the original version. Actually, that Barbie was my sister’s. My older sister had the Barbie with the flowing peach gown, but we all used that gown when it was time to dress up our Barbies for a grand adventure or a special ball. We’d dress up Barbie and have Ken pick her up in the silver corvette. Even now I’m smiling thinking of that retro Barbie. It was hard for me to leave it on the shelf. If I see it again, I might just pick her up for old time’s sake.

Twilight Barbie Games


I saw the greatest Barbie games ever today. I was shopping for some toys (birthday parties, you know) and saw a large display of New Moon Barbie dolls. The dolls were pretty careful replicas of the characters from the movies Twilight and New Moon. Edward was even intensely pale, just like in the movies. If I’d had the extra cast at the time, I would have snapped up the three dolls and added them to a Barbie collection.

But without an extra $60, I had to go off and leave the new Barbie games in the store, but I was certainly impressed. Jacob, I think was the most impressive in the movie and in the Barbie box. He was wearing his simple blue jean shorts and even was sporting the correct tribal tattoo on his shoulder – just like in the movie. Jacob was bronzed, had shorn hair and a pretty impressive figure. His face even looked like a real Jacob – not a Ken doll redone. Edward and Bella were the same way but with far paler skin and builds that weren’t quite as impressive.

Playing Barbie Games Online


Online Barbie games are great. They are easily one of my favorite ways to spend a few minutes between homework projects letting my inner creativity come through for a few minutes. To play the Barbie games, you start with a doll base on a girl game website. The doll base is amazingly similar to the bare Barbie doll. The online games are played in a very similar way to the games you played with the dolls once upon a time.

Start by selected some basic outfits for your Barbie games. You’ll want to find something cute for her to wear, but don’t worry about trying on everything in one swoop. You get to play as many times as you like. Dress Barbie up in her adorable outfits and then send the picture to a friend, print it out as inspiration or just delete it and start again. The more Barbie games you play, the more creative you will become. Soon you’ll start seeing new ways to blend and mix outfits and that creativity will definitely come shining through.

Barbie Games as Gifts


There is nothing more exciting for a little girl than opening up a big Barbie box and finding the treasures inside. Barbie games are an exciting surprise for most little girls, but not all. The Barbie games should be given to girls who you are comfortable with. After all, it would be awkward to give Barbie games to a little girl whose mother hates the “non-feminist” mark of Barbie in her household. Of course, in those cases, the little girl is almost sure to love the doll since her friends already have them, but you run the risk of upsetting her parents.

To pick the right Barbie as a present, get in touch with a little girl’s parents. Ask them if there is anything in particular she needs to complete her Barbie collection. You might be the proud bearer of the Barbie horse she’s been wanting for months when you show up at the party. If you just know that the Barbies are the way to go, play it safe with a Barbie that’s not objectionable. Find the ones that have prestigious careers like doctors and pilots so that you can show that women, even plastic ones, can be anything they want.
