Barbie You Can Be Anything Marine Biologist Doll
(Mattel $22)
Choose a blonde or brunette version and select the one with light or darker skin tone—either way this Barbie is more than a pretty face and sleek figure. Like other Barbies in the You Can Be Anything collection, this Barbie is a scientist, a Marine Biologist, to be exact. Dressed for work under water, she comes with all the diving and snorkeling equipment plus a cabinet to store that equipment when she finishes her work. Plenty of props here for dramatic play with a career idea built into the pretend.
