Mattel Barbie Eye Doctor Doll & Playset
(Mattel $19.99)
A play setting complete with eye chart, examining chair and patient comes with Eye Doctor Barbie (who also wears glasses!) For kids getting their first pair of eye glasses, it's comforting to see Barbie also wearing hers. We like the idea of Barbie role playing as an Ophthalmologist, even if they didn't call her that. We could almost call this a step toward S.T.E.M. learning. A good setting to role play with before kids visit their own eye doctor for a check up. Also available in African American version. 4 & up.
Ages: Preschoolers, Early School
