Barbie introduces first doll with Down’s syndrome with British model Ellie Goldstein

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.
