When I think back to my childhood and my favourite toys, the first thing that pops into my mind is my Barbie Doll collection. I’m not sure why, but I was obsessed playing with my Barbie dolls (and Ken). I had the Barbie Dream house that was complete with an elevator, full bathroom, living room set and a car. I would save up any money that I had just to buy more and more Barbie toys.
I remember that my friends always wanted to come over to my house because of my Barbie collection. Sharing my stuff with my friends made it even better. When we moved to Canada my parents were kind enough to bring along my entire Barbie Collection! It not only made the move easier but provided me with hours of entertainment until I made new friends.
One of my biggest supporters of my love of Barbie was my dad. He loved that I enjoyed playing with my barbie dolls and he helped me buy the dolls that I wanted. It’s always been so great having such a great roll model in my life who was loving, caring and supportive. More so, he was one of my biggest champion and always encouraged me to study and work hard in order to achieve my goals and dreams. He was a big force behind my success in the work force and as an adult in general.
That’s why I’m excited to share this fun and exciting Dad-Daughter Barbie contest!

This is such a sweet campaign!
Great campaign. I still have some of my Barbie dolls, just waiting for a little one to play with them. 😉 I remember being young, and saving up to buy that special outfit. Some of the ball gowns I got as gifts were just beautiful. Never had the house, car or trailer but lots of clothes and a few heads with wigs.
This is a cute article 🙂
Love this!! Great daddy daughter time

I love the change in focus Matel is taking with its Barbie brand! 🙂
