Barbie Games and Summer

Every summer, I’m reminded again why I like Barbie games. The simple truth is this: Barbie games are simple and they always make me want to go swimming. It’s a strange comparison, of course, but when you stop to think about it, the best Barbie games always seem to be featuring Barbie in a hot tub or swimsuit. Look through the dolls in the fashion toy aisle at your favorite toy store. You’ll see more than a few Barbie dolls sitting there in their swimsuits. Some even sport fish tales in a true mermaid style.

But the best accessories for Barbie games are not the giant houses. It’s the swimming pools and hot tubs. Check those out in the store and commercials and you’ll know what I mean. When you play with Barbie games in a swimming pool, you’re able to put some water in the pool, line up your dolls and have a regular beach party. It’s fun in a way that a big empty house just can’t be. And if you get bored with the doll party, you can always take your Barbie games into the big pool with you.

Barbie Games and Spring Fashions

The springtime is one of joy and rebirth. The fashions often represent this with lighter fabrics, pretty patterns and a general lightness and fun to all of the various styles. Of all of the various fashion dolls, Barbie games represent this springtime motif more effectively than any other group. The Monster High games are obviously dark –almost gothic in their appeal. The Bratz games are bold and trendy, but they are more urban in design than the Barbie games.

It then falls to the Barbie games to be on top of these things and promote the style that the doll world really needs at this time of the year. Decorate the dolls and make them shine. Encourage the bright patterns and soft pastels of spring time and perhaps put a flower in your hair. Barbie games are excellent at softness and light, and this is definitely one season where we can really see them shine.

Barbie Games and Valentines

This year for Valentine’s Day, I’m going to be a bit ironic rather than going with something more traditional. I believe I’m going to give all of my friends Barbie games valentines. Why, you may ask? I’m choosing Barbie this year for two reasons. The first is that I simply like Barbie. A lot. Who doesn't like Barbie games? The second reason I’m choosing Barbie games is because it’s a bit ironic when I do. How many other girls pick up Barbie valentines at my age? They are too busy baking cookies or buying candy. But not me!

Distributing my Barbie games valentines is fun, of course. All I have to do is tear out the little cards like I did back in elementary school. Then I write a short message to all of my friends on the cards and carefully pick out the right picture for the right friend. Then, once I have my cards sorted, I can distribute them to my friends. If I’m really feeling generous, I might go ahead and put some candy hearts into each card so that everyone can enjoy the fun of sweets and secret messages together this year.

Barbie Games and Pinterest

I’m a recent convert to Pinterest, but I’m already addicted. It’s scary how quickly you can get sucked into the site full of pictures, ideas and plans for others. You might think of crazy cartoons, interesting crafts and that sort of thing when you’re considering Pinterest, but there are plenty of other ways to use the site as well – including showing off some of your Barbie games.

Barbie games are typically played by yourself, or perhaps with a good friend who is over for the day to enjoy some of the outfits you have for dressing up your dolls. But you can now play Barbie games with the whole world if you want to take pictures of your creations and post them online. For example, you can dress up your Barbie games in your own creations and then snap a picture of the costume. Pose the doll, create a great look and let everyone enjoy it!

Barbie Games and Style

Barbie games are easily one of the most popular forms of entertainment both on the web and off. We just have to give credit to the men and women behind the Barbie styles, however. The dolls are incredibly popular year after year. Barbie has been in the spotlight for more than fifty years and that’s a significant achievement for any reason at all – most especially for a fashion doll who has been challenged more than a few times over the course of her career.

Barbie games have recently moved online, and now you don’t have to have the entire collection of dolls to really enjoy the games, however. Playing Barbie games online means simply dressing up the dolls that you find in the various games. Doll them up and throw on a few accessories to liven things up and then you suddenly have a new style for a new character or story you’re creating – all without the fuss or muss of traditional Barbie games.

Katniss Barbie Games

It’s almost sad to consider, but I sincerely want my own Katniss Barbie games. Like so many others, I've loved the Hunger Games from the very early days of the novels. I've read them many, many times – not just by myself but as part of reading groups and clubs, and I enjoy the novel every time I read through it. Now, many people who enjoyed the Hunger Games have been obsessed with all sorts of things from the movie – including Gale and Peeta.

Not me. I love the story, I have the movie and I’m looking forward to watching it at will. But what I really want is the Katniss Barbie. I have no particular reason to want the doll – I just do. I haven’t played Barbie games for well over two decades, but that hasn't stopped me from wanting to collect my own new Barbie games – in particular the fiery-haired hero from the books and movies. Owning the Katniss Barbie games would be simple enough – just buy it at the store. I haven’t actually taken the plunge yet. But perhaps – now that my secret is out – I will do exactly that.

Barbie Games with Ken

One of the most distinctive things I remember about growing up playing Barbie games is how jealous I would get of my sister's Ken doll. She had the Ken doll with the blonde plastic hair while I was stuck with the more stylish. but also more foolish Derek doll. It was the eighties and Derek - at least I think that was his name - ran around with a full head of hair on his head. He had curly hair that I didn't think was particularly attractive. I always preferred Ken's more clean-cut look.

I was sad the day I realized that my mom had cleaned out the closet and given away all of the old Barbie toys. I was able to hang onto a couple of dolls at the time, but I never did see what happened to that Ken doll. Fortunately, I've outgrown my own Ken doll games, but with a niece about the right age, it's only a matter of time before I start buying an entirely new collection of Barbie game and you can be sure that I'll be buying a Ken doll right along with Barbie and her friends.

Barbie Games for School

Looking at the long rows of back to school supplies in the large stores, you can rest assured that Barbie games are doing just fine. How do you know? Why because Barbie games are showing up all over backpacks, lunch boxes and folders. If you can buy Barbie pencils, you can easily count on your favorite Barbie games to be there for you when you need them.

And you may need those familiar Barbie games more than ever as you head back to school this year. Getting in the groove of a new school year can be exhausting, of course, but it’s also a great deal of fun. You make new friends and think of new games to play. But at home, when all of the fun of the day is winding up, you’ll be able to climb in your bed, grab a couple of your favorite dolls and just enjoy the simple peace that Barbie games can bring you.

Barbie Games and Princesses

Today in the toy aisle of a major store, I was struck by the sorts of Barbie games available. As I looked for a toy suitable for a girl turning three I noticed that there was a rather large assortment of Barbie games that weren't actually Barbie. They were all princess Barbie games. Mattel, in conjunction with Disney, has released a huge assortment of Barbies that are modeled after the most popular princesses in animated films.

I wasn't ready to commit to a Barbie just yet - I think Christmas would be better for the first of the Barbie games this little girl is going to receive, so I didn't pick anything out. But I was impressed by the sheer number of little girl princess Barbies available. They were sold in packages with multiple princesses and there were different dolls to accommodate the different outfits for each princess. It was truly impressive just how many Barbie princess games where were.

Barbie Games and Brunettes

It’s funny if you think about it. Of all the various Barbie dolls available in the toy stores, there are probably two brunettes for every blonde beauty. So why do we insist and picture Barbie as a blonde? It is the Barbie movies that have made us convinced that Barbie is really a blonde? I guess this could very well be the case.

It may also be true that the actual doll named Barbie is, in fact, a blonde. But what about all of those other dolls who have darker hair? If you do a bit of research, it turns out that most of those dolls aren’t actually named Barbie. Most of them are Barbie’s friends and they have their own names and special elements. But the point remains – when we think about playing Barbies, why do we immediately assume we’re playing with a blonde doll? I, for one, have always enjoyed the darker haired dolls more anyhow.

Barbie Games and the Preppy Movement

There have been lots of names for the preps over the years. Preppy kids, Preps, Socs (remember the Outsiders?) and who knows what else. But it all boils down to the same thing – the preppy kids are the ones who wear the latest conservative fashions with a trendy bent. They are into labels usually and a particular fit or style of clothing. If it fits well, looks great and has the right label, it’s just the sort of thing that the preppy kids love. And Barbie games have long been the poster child of the preppy movement.

Barbie games have occasionally tried to deviated from a conservative preppy thing, but usually they just fall right back into the same routines. After all, the conservative prep thing really works for Barbie. What’s perhaps the most interesting thing to watch in the conservative fashion games of Barbie games is the actual preppy style. Leotards and leg warmers gave way to boot cut jeans and adorable tops. Boots came and went and high heels are forever. Barbie games are simply an ideal expression of preppy fashion choices.

Barbie Games Still Going Strong

Barbie games have been around for decades – they are older than any other fashion doll out there. In fact, they were introduced to fill a void in the toy market. But despite her age, Barbie is still a very strong presence in the world of only fashion and the Barbie games just seem to be getting better with time. Barbie’s market share has gone up dramatically over the last few years, and that may be because we crave something familiar with the economy still in a slump.

Or it may be due simply to the fact that our toy budget is now being spent on toys that have a lasting impact. With Barbie games, you can play with the dolls for hours and never play the same game twice. You can easily sit with your Barbie games and create scenario after scenario to enjoy every day. You’re not restricted to Barbie games in your room, of course, there are plenty of Barbie games online to provide hours of amusement as well – and for those with limited Barbie fashions, the online Barbie games may provide more enjoyment as the fashion selection is wider.

Barbie Games and Romance

How many of us got our first taste of romance from Barbie games? This was immortalized in Toy Story 3 when we got to watch Barbie and Ken get together for the first time - even if that went sour in the middle. But even without a movie showing us the two are made for each other, we already knew that Barbie games include more than fashion - they include passion as well.

Stop to consider the different dolls available. There are endless princess dolls in the Barbie collections and there are more than a few brides and formal dresses. You can't have a bride without a groom and every princess has her prince or at least a guy to help her across the royal ballroom floor. So that means that every Barbie game that includes a girl probably has a boy somewhere that needs to fill in for important roles. It's no surprise that Barbie games are romantic - we're the one who used to make the dolls date and kiss after all!

Barbie Games and Long Car Trips

There is something promising about a long car trip. Sure, it might get a bit boring in the back seat from time to time, but wise parents know that the best way to beat boredom is to start a game for the kids riding back there. And what better game could possibly be available than the Barbie games that are so affordable and available?

Before you start your car trip, swing by the toy store and look for the Barbie games that are on sale this week – there are always a few new games on sale. For less than twenty dollars, you can walk out of the store with two new Barbie games and perhaps some accessories as well. Wrap up the dolls and present them to your young passengers before the car trip actually begins. A few miles into the hours of driving and you’ll be pleased to hear the laughter and fun coming from the backseat.

Why Choose Barbie Games?

Why not choose Barbie games? There are more Barbie games out there than ever before, and they all seem to be amazing. I was walking down the aisles of the toy store just today looking at all of the various Barbie games that are available. Among these games you’ll find the princess dolls that are so pretty to look at and fun to play with. You’ll also find some of the more complicated Barbie games that are suitable to the older girls who enjoy movies like Twilight and High School Musical.

With so many Barbie games to choose from, one of the reasons girls do choose them over and over again is because there is so much versatility with the dolls. You can pick the doll that is dressed the way you’d like to play at the moment – princess, president, doctor, mommy. Then, change outfits, change styles and just keep playing and pretending as long as you want without any interference at all. That is the true beauty of the Barbie games – the ongoing versatility and fun!

Bald Barbie Games

Isn’t it great that there are so many new bald dolls around? Mattel  has created new bald dolls at the request of many individuals who signed a petition requesting the bald fashion dolls. The hope is that the bald dolls make young cancer patients more comfortable with their own hair loss by playing with bald Barbie games instead of the dolls with long, flowing locks. Of course, the bald Barbie games aren’t just for the cancer victims themselves, they are also perfectly suitable for little girls without cancer as well.

Cancer is sadly still very much a part of our culture, and it’s likely that every little girl will brush up against someone with cancer at some point in their formative years. By playing with the bald Barbie dolls, they are able to see that’s it’s not so odd when a woman loses her hair and, in fact, playing with a bald Barbie isn’t so very far removed from playing with any friend or family member who may have lost her hair.

Bald Barbie Games!

Mattel has made it official. After being petitioned on Change.org, the manufacturer of Barbie games has decided to produce a bald doll. This is not actually a bald Barbie doll, herself, but rather a bald friend-of-Barbie who will make the Barbie games that much more exciting for young girls to play. The bald Barbie games are designed to reflect the “bald and beautiful” appearance of young girls and the family members of young girls who are currently undergoing cancer treatments or other medical conditions that result in hair loss.

The bald Barbie games are part of the True Hope series of dolls that Mattel is making to help support cancer awareness and the treatment of the disease. The bald Barbie games will be joined by bald Bratz games and bald Moxie girls games as well. The end result will be a group of bald fashion dolls who are just as pretty as the one with hair, but they will help to represent a better portion of society as well.

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 Easter Dresses

One of my favorite things about this time of year are the beautiful Easter dresses we get to wear. I love the beautiful fabrics and I love the feeling of wearing such a pretty dress on a bright, sunny Easter morning. It’s all part of the experience for me, and right now I have found that playing Barbie games helps me get ready for Easter every year by allowing me to see just how well the Easter dresses coordinate with different outfits by trying them on the dolls.

The online Barbie games are simple to use when it comes to trying on new dresses. The online dolls are like paper dolls. They have hundreds of clothing options you can use to put looks together. From shoes to hats, you can find it all for Barbie games, and when you play these particular Barbie games, you’ll be working with the pretty dresses – not the hip urban styles we love so often the rest of the time. This is a time to be beautiful and lovely, and Barbie games help us do that easily.
