The World Barbie Dreamtopia & App Review

We would love to introduce you to the world of Barbie Dreamtopia which is a magical make-believe world created by Chelsea, Barbie’s six year old youngest sister.  Like many girls, Chelsea really looks up to her sister, and every adventure features Barbie as either a princess, a fairy, or a mermaid from a different land that guides Chelsea and her young pup Honey on a new experience.

Earlier this July, a brand new Barbie Dreamtopia movie special was aired on Tiny Pop.  Did your children watch it?  The show joins Barbie, her younger sister Chelsea and her pup Honey on a magical new adventure, telling the origins story of the land of Dreamtopia!  Has your child ever imagined she/he could fly with Fairies whose wings sprinkle emeralds and diamonds as she/he flutters by? Or ride the tallest Roller Coaster you’ve ever seen, up in the sky on a Rainbow? To further your children’s storytelling, there are a range of toys and the Barbie Dreamtopia – Magical Hair app to help them along!
