Playing with dolls is a common childhood experience, especially for girls. From the latter half of the 20th century, dolls began to get more sophisticated and varied, offering children a wide variety of appearances, costumes, accessories and modes of interaction for their play. This Blossom Beauty Barbie doll comes with glitter and a string that can hide or reveal its elaborate floral dress. It is an example of the kinds of innovations increasingly seen in toys of the 1990s-2000s to enhance interactivity in creative ways.
