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 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.
