Is it any good?

Is it any good?
 
It's clear this site is managed by Mattel. That's because there are countless areas where products -- from Barbie dolls and accessories to user-designed Polly Pocket tee-shirts -- can be bought.

That said, if parents are willing to overlook the material goods splashed on every page, the site does offer fun, interactive games sure to delight not-yet-tween girls.

My daughter has been playing on this site since she was 5. It is by no means educational, but it links to Barbie, Polly Pocket, MyScene and others. It is fun for little girls to take their online firnds for make-overs, give manicures, and decorate rooms. There is definitly a 'buy this' on every page, so make sure you talk to your girl about advertisements before free-play.
