Barbie Games and Hair Color

It's not very often that you used to see a Barbie doll with a different hair color. Barbie games have almost always had blonde hair and the more games you played, the more you became used to the blonde hair. In fact, it was simply the way things were done when you played. Ken even, in the first edition of course, had blonde hair as well.

As the Barbie games became more main stream, we were finally able to move away from the blonde hair that was traditionally associated with the dolls. Now we have Barbie games in any number of differ rent styles and designs, and among those you'll find the red hair and brown hair that makes the dolls unique at least. But most of the time, when you're considering Barbie games, you'll almost certainly run into the blonde haired bombshell we've all been familiar with. Everyone else just appears to be Barbie’s best friend.

Barbie Games and Creativity

Barbie games are one of the first and best sources of creativity and imaginative play that little girls can enjoy. While they may love their toy kitchen or the little carriage that they push around with stuffed animals, it’s the Barbie house and the dolls and the collection of the Barbie games that really makes it possible for the action to unfold for these girls.

While toddlers enjoy the most basic form of imaginative play – imitating life, the more complex Barbie games that the girls start to play do much more than mimic life. They start to dress up the dolls like characters and act out complicated, imaginative scenarios that not only are fun, but beneficial as well. Having a chance to sit and play is significant for little girls and for the older ones as well. A creative mind is not only important for games early on, but for creative thought as the girl grows to adulthood as well.
