British model Ellie Goldstein has teamed up with Barbie as they launch their first doll with Down’s syndrome. The doll, which is available to pre-order today and goes on sale across the UK on May 3, will allow even more children to find a doll that represents them.
This is the first Barbie doll to be introduced with Down’s syndrome, expanding the Fashionistas line to include a person with an intellectual disability.
The line also features dolls who use wheelchairs, prosthetic limbs, hearing aids, dolls with vitiligo and a doll without hair.
