I wasn't a girlie girlie, but I remember I got a few sleepover Barbie friends, the BSC dolls and a Barbie beauty shop thing, and I played for HOURS with that thing. Barbie wasn't "Barbie" she was a teacher, a doctor, a horsewoman, a mother, a hero, etc. I love Barbie just like I loved ponies. They were fun to play with, and they were part of my imaginary games. I do think that our children are having a harder time with imagination if they're thrust in front of screens at a very young age.
Barbie looked pretty because feeling pretty is a nice feeling. It really had nothing to do with attracting boys and it creeps me out that people think that just because a girl wants to look cute, she's on the prowl.
Creative“Sensory experiences,” explains Angie Dorrell, “provide open-ended opportunities where the process is more important than the product; how children use materials is much more important than what they make with them.” Prompting your child to think creatively in order to solve problems or engage in make-believe helps them express their creativity and build self-esteem.
