Did you know? The Barbie doll was inspired by a real-life German woman named Ruth Handler, who created the iconic fashion model after seeing her daughter play with paper dolls. Handler realized that there was a gap in the market for a doll that allowed children to engage in imaginative play and express their creativity through fashion and storytelling.

Creative Coloring Ideas:
• Here are five coloring page suggestions that can make the Barbie image more interesting:

• 2. Monochromatic: Use different shades of one color to create a monochromatic effect on the image, such as various shades of pink or blue.
• 3. Neon Colors: Add neon colors to parts of the image to add a pop of brightness and fun, contrasting with regular coloring techniques.
• 4. Shading Effect: Create an illusion of shadow by adding darker color over the lighter areas of the image, creating depth and dimension.
