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 Fruit Fantasy Barbie doll comes with a peach fragrance and ribbon necklace for the user that has a peach-shaped ornament matching the ribbon belt on the doll. It encourages users to imagine themselves as being akin to the Barbie doll with the box stating “Look so pretty with your matching necklace!” This doll provides an example of the kinds of innovations increasingly seen in toys of the 1990s-2000s to enhance interactivity in creative ways.
