Help Barbie doll care for a merbaby, baby seal and baby octopus in this fantasy set that puts a magical twist on classic nurturing play.
The mermaid has lavender fantasy hair and a beautifully sculpted pastel pink tail with purple fins. She wears a bright yellow bodice and a ruffled overlay at her hips!
The nautical, Ferris wheel-inspired bed has three shell cribs and really spins! Tuck each of the little ones inside with a pearl belt to make sure they stay safe and sound.
Seat the merbaby on the adorable seahorse rocker for a fun activity! Its gentle swaying mimics the motion of ocean currents, which is super soothing for a newborn mermaid.
The included bottle and blanket help encourage nurturing role-play. From swaddling the seal to playing hide and seek with the octopus or feeding the merbaby, there are so many story possibilities!
