QUALITY
What parents need to know
Parents need to know that this is a shopping site thinly disguised as entertainment. But no skills will be enhanced here. There's a parenting section, but most of it was dedicated to getting the parent to buy as well.
What's it about?
As you would expect, BARBIE.COM is essentially an infomercial for Barbie products. Frankly, that's all you should use this site for since the rest of it is boring. No music, simple games that are way below the reading level required to understand how to play them, and bafflingly staid graphics.
Is it any good?
Barbie.com won't hurt your kid, but it won't enlighten or entertain them much them, either. Not much makes sense on this site. Seems like a wasted opportunity given Barbie's eternal popularity.
What families can talk about
Families can talk about the importance -- or lack thereof -- of being trendy and always having a new outfit to show off. How do clothes make you feel? Is it important to run out and buy the new hip shirt or pair of pants?

barbie...
its ok. but you can get bored realy qickly. the reson i think there are some iffy stuff for 5 year olds is that barbies where made for men to look at. then the little kids borght them so they canged it into toys for little girls. i am telling you its true. i read it on a site that revews toys. so think twice before bying your kids barbies.it use a lot of advertising on the site. and it teaches you to be more like barbie. always thinking about how you look.

Good for kids as long as your name doesn't have the wrong letters!!
The site won't let my daughter type her name in, Michelle!!! It says it is a naughty word!! The president's wife's name is a dirty word because is has hell as a word pattern. This is crazy!!
