When young imaginations open the door to the Barbie Dreamhouse, they’ll discover unlimited storytelling possibilities!
The new Barbie Dreamhouse is a symbol of childhood dreams for many girls. It is a place where they can imagine themselves as anything they want to be, from a doctor to a fashion designer.
Standing 109cm tall and 104cm wide, this dreamy dollhouse inspires 360-degree play with three floors and 10 indoor and outdoor living areas. Move right in and customize the space – the grass area and pool can be placed in multiple configurations on the first and third floors, and the slide fits in four second-floor locations.
After designing the layout, set the scene for any story with three songs, two soundscapes and customisable light settings.
Then, double the fun with transforming furniture — the BBQ grill reverses to reveal a dessert buffet, the entertainment centre reverses to reveal a pet play area, and a bunk bed folds down from the wall.
Kids can play out any story, from an ordinary day to the ultimate get-together, with a kitchen, living room, dining room, bedroom, bathroom, pool, balcony, party room and more.
Lift and lower Barbie and her friends in the working elevator, fill the pool with water to make a splash, soak up some sun on the third-floor balcony and rooftop deck, and host a pet playdate with a puppy pool and slide.
Storytelling accessories – over 75 of them – feature realistic touches and textures that bring any Barbie story to life. With cool customisations and so many storytelling opportunities, kids ages three and up will move right into the Barbie Dreamhouse, and make it their own.
Assembly is required and the dolls, vehicle and wheelchair are not included. Requires three AA alkaline batteries (not included).
Features:
- Dreamy features include a working elevator, party room with a DJ booth, second-story slide with a pool, balcony with a repositionable hammock swing, and a puppy play area with its own pool and slide.
- Set the scene for any story with realistic sound effects, two soundscapes, three songs, eight light colour options, and four light settings including day mode, night mode, party mode and mood lighting.
- The Dreamhouse can help children develop their fine motor skills, and a sense of autonomy, personal expression, and decision-making skills. As they experiment with the customisable design, children develop their sense of style, spatial reasoning, and the ability to make independent decisions.
- The Dreamhouse includes educational elements, such as mini science or art stations, sparking curiosity and a love for learning in children while they play. It also features a dedicated space for storytelling, inspiring children to create and share their narratives, enhancing language skills, their vocabulary, narrative structure, and communication skills, and boosting their confidence in expressing ideas and engaging with others.

- The Dreamhouse encourages doll play, which can also help children develop their social skills, their emotional intelligence, and their self-esteem. Doll play can also help children learn about empathy, compassion, and responsibility. By engaging in cooperative play, children develop important social skills such as communication, negotiation, and teamwork, building friendships and fostering a sense of community.
