Christmas gift ideas: Best Barbie dolls for 5

Five year old girls dream of being a princess. So what could be better for a five year old girl than a Barbie from the Disney Princess Barbie collection? These dolls are dressed beautifully without being expensive. They are playable. They have their own movies on DVD, and so many wonderful things to play with.

This year, Barbie is an Island Princess with the Princess Rosella Doll. Her dress is a beautiful blue. But wait, it transforms with a fan of peacock feathers that raise from the back up to frame her beautiful face. This Barbie is rated by Toys R Us customers with 41/2 of 5 stars and is priced at $19.99.

Toys R Us is featuring an exclusive with the R/C Corvette and Barbie Doll. Her sparkling pink dress matches her pink Barbie sized car, which also includes the remote key for extra fun. This Barbie is rated at 31/2 stars and is priced at $39.99.

You may wish to consider a Barbie Horse Stable and Doll. This gem has thus far rated 5 full stars. It features the Barbie sized horse Tawny, and plenty of fencing. Think of that little girl playing to her hearts content and building her imagination. This one I would get down on the floor with the little girl and join the fun. Priced at $20.99 it is not exclusive so keep on the lookout to see if you can spot this one.

Consider the Barbie Play All Day Zoo Doctor Doll and Play set. This is just one of the Barbie career play sets that help little girls dream of being big girls. Your 5 year old will love playing veterinarian. It comes with the Barbie, examination table, wash station, and of course some animals and kennels. Priced at $20.99

There are so many Barbie accessories that can be purchased with or separately from the doll itself, and don’t forget those DVD’s of the Disney Princess Barbie collection. I don’t foresee any problem with every little girl getting a Barbie under the tree this year.

Barbie will have a good Christmas this year as always.
