But, it’s not just all about play. Barbie has always said we can be anything, but the science shows that girls start developing self-limiting behaviors by the age of five. Barbie established the Dream Gap Project Fund with $250,000 in March 2019 to fuel efforts to close this Dream Gap. This fall, Barbie is distributing the $250,000 to three organizations working to change the lives of girls worldwide. Airbnb will also be making a contribution. Build your own perfect patio chairs.
