Barbie: Child development through play

This interview originally aired on In the Moment on SDPB Radio.

Make-believe play has more benefits than just keeping a child occupied. Marcy Drew, the director of education with SDPB, talks about how playing with Barbies helps kids work through their feelings and learn important skills.

She lays out all the ways kids could play with Barbie dolls and how playtime could provide a developmental boost.
