Barbie Careers Advent Calendar

My 5 year old has loved opening this calendar and has played with it quite a bit. The Barbie is pretty and she is of higher quality. Her knees don't bend but her elbows and wrists do so she poses into beautiful positions. The other Barbie advent calendars I've seen in the past don't have much variety, and this one is so well thought out with not only a variety of outfits, but it is cleverly put together to allow for so many options. Her pink shoes don't stay on well but overall I'm impressed with the quality, especially the dancing outfit. My daughter loves dressing dolls right now so she has quite enjoyed this. It is harder to open the boxes than some advent calendars we've had in the past years because the box is thicker and sturdier, so I have to help her, which I would probably have to any way.

I purchased this for my 4 year old daughter, a huge Barbie fan. I ordered a bit late, so we got to open up a few on that first day. Day 1 was the doll, which has a blue leotard and her blond hair pulled in a side ponytail. The wrist, elbow, and shoulder joints are articulated which will be nice for creating the ballerina or figure skater poses. The next few days contained the shoes, skirt, and tiara accessories for the ballerina costume. My daughter is super excited to continue opening each day. And I like how the sections are not in numerical order, so I get a mini math lesson for my preschooler as she searches for the correct number. The only negative thing about this calendar is that the sections are quite difficult to open, and there is no way my daughter would be able to do it on her own. But the quality of the doll and accessories more than make up for that, so I didn't feel that removing a star was necessary. Overall, this Barbie Careers Advent Calendar is a quality product that will bring joy to any little girl interested in Barbie.

My daughter loves Barbie and this was the highlight of our Christmas. For the price I thought we got a lot of really good things. Not junk by any means. The doll was nice- hair was good quality of the doll itself was like any Mattel Barbie you would purchase separately. She came with outfits that were well sewn and fit the doll. And there were of accessories. The only disappointment out of 25 things was a plastic chef hat. My daughter actually played with all morning on Christmas rather than playing with her actual presents. Its about 2 months since Christmas and I will say I still see then doll and accessories on my living room floor so she is still playing with it.

So far, my daughter has enjoyed this set. The doll is day 1, which is fun. We liked that the doll's shoulders, elbows, and wrists have moveable joints, but it should also have included leg joints. How can Barbie ski without her knees bent? Silly, Mattel. For the price, a fully functional "on the move" Barbie should be included. Day 2 provides ballet slippers, Day 3 the ballet skirt, and that's only how far we've got. I got this set primarily because of the vet and ski accessories, which are hard to find on their own. This toy inspires imaginative role play with my daughter, and Barbies were my favorite toy when I was young. I never had poor self-esteem or negative body image concepts because of Barbie's distorted and unrealistic proportions. It's a doll! Of course it's not realistic! That said, changing the doll's clothes is a fine motor skill, inspires creative thinking, and decision-making. I complement my daughter's play with the Barbie pet vet and farm vet books. My daughter is interested in a vet career, and the Doc McStuffins toys are now under her age interest. I've been impressed by Barbie's progressive line of "Career Barbies" and how the options present the brand as a diverse character with various "Barbie" dolls that feature different ethnicities and now even body shapes and contours.

We LOVED this! A great way to build excitement for the holiday season. I like this more than other Barbie Advent calendars because it was geared towards careers and not just random accessories. Helps my girly girl see beyond just the pretty pink things. Very happy with this purchase. Great value for price. I spent less than $20.

I can not say enough good things about this calendar. My 6 year old really wanted an advent calendar and I assumed chocolate. Nope! She wanted some kind of toy or activity. I searched and found this one. It was a very low price for what is given in this package. Note that the box is big. She would take it up and down and up and down, carrying it everywhere. She loved everything that came inside each day and could not wait to see what was next. BUY THIS! Super worth it. Now to find something equally as great for next year.

This was the greatest calendar, my daughter who is 5 has looked forward to opening it everyday. It comes with a full size barbie to begin with. So far, we have received the figure skater costume, complete with figure skates, the ballerina and we are currently onto the veteranarian. Today we got the puppy. Quality items inside and my child could not be happier with the excitement it brings every day. I would recommend this for anyone with a true barbie lover in their life!

Very cute advent calendar! My girls are loving it! We’ve had the makeup version of the Barbie advent calendar but this is more exciting for them. They’ve carried the Barbie around since opening her, which is rare with any toys! Good quality, too.

Wow. Got this on a prime deal and we were blown away by the content and the quality. A flexible Barbie with five outfits for $27. The advent is out on the main eating island and family and friends continually comment on how well the accessories are made and what the actual cost would be to buy the items separately. It makes the LEGO Star Wars advent for my son look extremely overpriced.

This is brilliant, didn't want to review until after my daughter had opened it all and she just loves it. Great value for what you get when you consider you are getting 5 career sets plus a doll. Only thing I would say is that i think the doll should have bendable legs given that shes being dressed as a ballerina, but she has decided to use that outfit on a made to move barbie she has instead. She also got the barbie ambulance for christmas and has had great fun pretending that the skier from this set has had an accident! All in all fantastic for pretend play without getting lots of dolls, a great substitute for a chocolate calendar, and everything so far is played with.

Jamás pude adquirir la Barbie made to move esquiadora pink passport, exclusiva de toys r us antes que lo cerraran, así que hice la mía con el conjunto de esquiadora en este bello calendario de adviento!! Además que las demás ropitas de carreras están súper lindas!! Es perfecto, si lo quieren espero lo encuentren a buen precio de un buen vendedor.

Por las imagenes me parecia mas pequeño, pero obviamente es una barbie de tamaño normal y la caja va en proporcion :) Es un calendario de adviento, pero muy sorpresa no es, porque detras te dice las cosas que incluye con foto y todo; si le quitas el embalaje de plastico, hay una lamina de carton que se puede quitar y entonces la caja solo dice los looks que incluye pero no hay una imagen de las piezas. De todos modos es muy chulo e incluye un monton de cosas que por separado serian mucho mas caras. Una buena compra.

Meine Tochter hat sich dieses Jahr diesen Kalender rausgesucht. Bisher fand ich Barbie Kalender ja ehrlich gesagt immer nicht so toll, da es für Kinder blöd ist wenn nur Schuhe z.B. rauskommen und das Beste zum Schluss. Dieses Mal ist die Barbie gleich am 1. Tag drinnen und somit ist die Barbie sofort bespielbar. Das Zubehör zu den unterschiedlichen Berufen kommt dann über die nächsten Wochen verteilt. Ich finde diese Lösung Top und daher habe ich auch dieses Jahr das erste Mal zugestimmt diesen zu kaufen ( bisher hatte sie welche von Schleich und Playmobil) Bitte macht es weiter so. ( Einer mit Barbie Kindern oder einem Mann wäre für die Zukunft auch mal toll) Nachtrag nach den ersten geöffneten Fenstern: Die Teile sind gut hinten den Türchen befestigt, so das ein Wegrutschen in andere Türchen nicht möglich ist und es somit auch keine Enttäuschung gibt. Einziges Manko bei der Barbie....die Beine sind nicht abknickbar. Somit ist auf einem Pferd sitzen nicht möglich. Der Arm ist das genaue Gegenteil und besteht aus 3 Gelenkteilen
