To play with your Barbie beach doll, simply hold her and start creating stories about beach days, water adventures, and more. Since the doll can't stand alone, you can prop her up against something or hold her in your hand during play. When it comes to maintenance, keep the doll away from sharp objects to avoid tearing the swimsuit. If the swimsuit gets dirty, you can gently spot - clean it with a mild soap and water. Remember, colors and decorations may vary, so embrace the uniqueness of your doll. This doll is for kids aged 3 and up, so adult supervision may be needed for younger children to ensure safe play.
