Barbie Dream House: The ultimate guide to the Barbie world
The Barbie world began on March 9th 1959 when the very first doll launched at the American International Toy Fair in New York City. Ruth Handler created the Barbie dolls after seeing her daughter playing with paper dolls, giving them adult roles. She wanted to create a iconic doll that was different and more mature, so that every little kid can visualise the grown up role they usually take on when playing. This inspiration was further fired up in Ruth when she saw a German Bild Lilli doll that had an adult figure.
Once Barbie was created, she became a huge hit and has remained popular to this day as one of the best dolls for kids. This world continued to grow over the years with lots of different dolls to choose from and, in 2015, Barbie became more inclusive by creating relatable Barbie dolls. These dolls aimed to let children connect more to Barbie as they can see themselves in the doll!
Not only did Barbie grow in terms of dolls, but Mattel also produced various Barbie accessories to create the best imaginative play experience. One of these iconic accessories is the Barbie Dream House. This house became very popular and is a dream for many children to have. Discover the Barbie Dream House in this blog and see our amazing range in our ultimate guide to the Barbie world.
What is a Barbie Dream House & when was it created
The Barbie Dream House was first created by Mattel in 1962 and offered children the opportunity to have a luxurious accessory for their dolls. The Dream House is the largest house to get that offers lots of various rooms and exciting play opportunities! It also allows children to immerse themselves with the Barbie world as it can be as big as them.
The first Barbie Dream House was made with cardboard and paper, and it could be folded up to transport anywhere with you and store safely! It was a one room, single-story home that contained everything that children could have plenty of fun with. It had a Hi-Fi TV with a record player, a bed, a couch, and the iconic closet. So, for the time it was released, the original Dream House was luxurious and super-exciting to have.
The Dream House is now 3 feet tall and 4 feet wide and has 3 stories! It has been re-designed and re-produced multiple times to adapt and change with the times and the changes with the dolls. As well as adapting the Dream House, Mattel produced various other Dream Houses for little ones to collect and grow their world. There are lots of different features and benefits to the various houses and you can explore these with our collection, to help you understand the differences and what suits your child best!
