Barbie advent calendar with doll and 24 fantasy accessories

About this product

The first day brings Barbie herself, a fashion doll with long pink hair, and later days add fantasy pieces to dress her: a mermaid tail, a long skirt and clip-on wings, so she can be a mermaid, a royal or a fairy. Fantasy friends turn up as well, a mini unicorn, a kitty, a starfish and a seahorse, along with a pet bed.

The other accessories are a headband, a comb and two pairs of shoes, plus a bracelet sized for a child, with a star charm. The set has 29 pieces in plastic. The recommended age runs from 36 months to 9 years, and no assembly is required.

What to use it for

Dress the doll with each new piece as it comes out, swapping the mermaid tail, skirt and wings around. The unicorn, kitty and other pets can join her for small story scenes.

Care and safety

The shoes, comb and tiny pets are easy to lose, so return them to the box after each session. Wipe the doll and accessories with a dry cloth.
