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 for Older Girls

You don’t have to be a young girl to really enjoy the spirit of the Barbie games. Barbie games are as old as the hills it seems – they are actually about 50 years old now – and they have had fans for years. It stands to reason then than the fans of old might still be fans today, even if they have to keep their love for the fashion plates rather quiet and out of the public eye.

Fortunately, the newest versions of Bratz games allow you to do exactly that. You don’t have to play with Barbie dolls at your desk in the office to know that they are fun and enjoyable at home in your spare time. It’s not uncommon for older women as well as younger girls to pull up the Barbie games websites at home on your personal computer. You can then dress up Barbie dolls for a few minutes when you want to unwind at the end of a long day or just enjoy the new fashions and styles that these games often have available.

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.

The Secret of Barbie Games

Barbie games are astonishingly simple, but that doesn’t keep them from being wonderfully entertaining as well. Barbie games are not as well-known as their fashionable counterpart the Barbie dolls, but online Barbie games have quite a bit to offer the young fashionista. Barbie games are easy to play – you start with a doll base and add clothing and accessories until you have a lovely, stylish, beautiful creation worthy of a fashion catalog.

But the real secret of the Barbie games is how immensely satisfying the games can be. When you play with the online Barbie dolls, it’s hard to not hearken back to your youth when you played with the dolls all of the time. If you were anything like me, you had more than a few Barbie dolls and enough Barbie clothing to max out the closets of the dream house – if it had closets, which mine did not. So when you sneak onto the online Barbie games, you’re getting a little taste of what it’s like to play the games again – quickly, easily but with just as much fun as you had years ago.
