I just got some collectable Barbie Dolls. I want to display them in the box but they are just in cardboard without plastic covers. What should I do to prevent them from gathering dust?

There are many children who have a favorite type of toy. This can be teddy bears, Cabbage Patch dolls, Care Bears, soft dogs and cats. They can even be the world famous Barbie and Ken dolls. These two dolls are well known by many people and not just children. While these two dolls are mainly used as toys by little girls, collectors will not hesitate to buy either of these should they come across one.

The Barbie and Ken dolls are made so that they resemble adults. The many different careers and styles of the years have an impact on the lives of these dolls. Today you will find that the world of Barbie has many accessories and items that can be used with either of these two dolls. There are also companion dolls that are of different ethnic backgrounds.

The original Barbie doll was based on a German doll called Bild Lilli. Once Mattel made Barbie and acquired the rights to the German doll, Lilli was soon discontinued. Barbie was then officially given the name Barbara Millicent Roberts. Ken was named Ken Carson. The names for the Barbie and Ken dolls were taken from the names of Ruth Handler, who was the original designer of Barbie.

While Barbie made her debut into the toy market during 1959 at the International Toy Fair in New York, Ken made his appearance during 1961. From 1961 Barbie and Ken have been considered as a couple. Their relationship was a on and off relationship. After a 43 year relationship, the Mattel Company decided that it was time for the two dolls relationship to end.

This separation lasted for about 2 years. In 2006 Barbie and Ken were made into a couple again. While the reason for the separation of the famous couple is probably due to a decline in sales, the reason they are a couple is that probably Barbie doesn’t sound complete without Ken.

While the popularity of both Barbie and Ken is attributed to the clothes and accessories you can buy, the look of the dolls may also play an important role. For many young girls Barbies looks are in keeping with the careers that she keeps getting. This fashion conscious doll has gone from being merely a fashion doll to a pilot, doctor, airline stewardess, astronaut, rock star to even being a fairy tale princess or mermaid.

Now while Barbie and Ken are just toys they are iconic figures. The looks and careers you see these dolls appearing in are an indication of how toy fashions can change. The one constant perhaps is the imagination and the endless hours of fun that a girl can derive from just playing with her Barbie and Ken dolls.

The bobblehead doll is a type of doll with its head (which is often oversized in comparison to its body) connected to its body by a spring, so that tapping the doll will cause the head to wobble. This type of doll is also known as a ‘bobbing head doll’, ‘wobbler’, or ‘nodder’. These dolls date back to ancient Japan and China, where they were made with flexible bamboo strips instead of springs. Today’s dolls are more directly descended from German ‘nodders’ dating from the late 18th century, which were made from ceramic or bisque, and ranged in height from about 6 to 8 inches. These dolls were popular in America until around 1930, when interest in them started to fade.

Modern bobblehead dolls first appeared in the 1950s, and were initially made of papier-mache, and then from ceramic. Although the ceramic dolls were popular, they were fairly expensive, and were considered mainly collectors’ items. Eventually, however, manufacturers started making the dolls from plastic, allowing for a cheaper manufacturing process, which made the dolls more affordable.

Early dolls were made to resemble animals and popular cultural characters, and were often used as advertising icons and automobile accessories (one very popular such doll was that of the dashboard ‘hula girl’). Around 1960 Japanese-made papier-mache ‘baseball’ bobbleheads began to be imported into America. These early pieces were generic figures representing teams and their mascots, rather than individual players. Typically, the dolls for all teams would look the same, except that they would be wearing the uniform for the particular team being depicted. During this time there were a few dolls made up to represent some of the more famous players of the day, but they differed from their respective team dolls only by the uniforms they wore. Unfortunately, few of these papier-mache dolls have survived without some sort of damage (usually cracking or chipping), although those that have survived in good condition are now valuable collectors’ items.

In the 1970s, bobbleheads were made of ceramic materials, and became popular for other sports, as well as for popular cultural and cartoon characters. However, by the mid-1970s, interest in the dolls had again died out, and very few new dolls were made for nearly two decades, when they became popular again.

In the 1990s, the dolls began to be made from plastic, which greatly reduced their cost, and facilitated the making of many variations of dolls to represent specific cultural figures and other notable people. After 2000, many different variations of the dolls began to appear, and a number of companies started to offer dolls that could be customized to the buyers’ specifications. Modern dolls that represent specific individuals closely resemble those individuals, even including such things as headbands, scars, tattoos, and hair styles.

The greater diversity of the dolls, and their decreased cost, have, once again, made them a very popular item, and have rekindled interest in collecting them. Today bobblehead dolls have become an integral part of our culture. They have truly become one of the world’s most recognizable cultural icons.

Many of us have probably never missed ‘playing house’ as kids. You probably imagined being grown-up and having your very own dream house. Lots of kids do this. They build homes and buildings out of things like pillows, bed sheets, tables and chairs, just any daily object they can find to pass the time and enjoy. Today the world is getting so competitive, and you would probably have your kids concentrate on academic skills instead of using the hours playing house. Well, it really does not have to be that way, and you can still provide your kids with the most enjoyable playthings such as Mattel’s Little Mommy Sweet As Me doll while keeping them in check with school and practical skills.

In modern times, kids have so much more things to play with than just wooden toy cars and stuffed toys. Creativity and advancements in the toy industry has instigated the development of interactive dolls that educate kids about pretty much anything ranging from learning their ABC’s to potty training. Toys are not just those things that sit around the room anymore. Toys today are 10 times the fun as well as 10 times more educational and beneficial.

The newest among the bunch of interactive dolls we have been seeing these days are the Mattel Little Mommy Sweet As Me dolls. These dolls are created to educate your kids essential skills in inventiveness and dependability as they nurture their doll while discovering essential skills for school and the real world.

The Little Mommy Sweet As Me dolls come in both male and female as well as in various ethnic looks, providing you with the chance to give your kids a baby doll that looks closest to them. Amongst all Sweet As Me series, the Baby Knows doll is best received by the market for being ultra responsive to the players in many different ways. They can narrate names of different areas of the body in either English or Spanish when their hands are put over those areas. Moreover, the Baby Knows dolls can sing melodies and engage in games with your kids, providing them with lots of discovery and enjoyment the whole day. Aside from the Baby Knows, there are a number of other Sweet As Me dolls that have also captured the hearts of many young kids, such as the Rainy Day doll and the Fairy doll.

Kids soak up information like sponges and will take with them whatever they learn along the way up until adulthood. With Mattel’s Little Mommy Sweet As Me dolls, your kids can easily learn essential phrases and words while honing their skills in helping others.
