Barbie Video Girl Review For Christmas 2010: One Of The Top Selling Toys For Girls

If you've been searching for the best gift for your little girl then you needn't look any further - Barbie Video Girl is it!

She has just been listed by the UK Toy Retailers Association as one of the top girls toys that you can buy for 2010, and she is definitely one of the coolest gifts out there!

What Is Barbie Video Girl?

This Barbie doll is different from the other dolls out there - she might look just like them, but she actually works as a real video camera!

With Barbie Video Girl, kids can shoot their own films and short videos!

The video camera lens is carefully disguised as a necklace, and the LCD screen is hidden by Barbie's hoodie. This screen will let your child watch what they are filming, and they can easily start capturing videos by pressing the button here.

When your child has finished making their film, they can simply connect Barbie Video Girl up to the computer to download the movies, edit them, and send them off to their friends. The website for the product also has a number of tools to get them started.

Features of this toy include:
* The Barbie Doll,
* A real working camera on her front,
* Video screen on her back,
* Plugs in via USB,
* Can be used to make movies,
* Requires 2x AAA batteries which are sold separately.

The truth is that Barbie Dolls are some of the most popular toys for young girls. If your daughter already loves them then getting her the video version is certainly going to make her happy.

It's recommended for use by girls aged 6 and above, though you may have to help younger girls out with the video recording features.

There are some benefits to choosing this toy for your child at Christmas 2010. It actually comes with educational value, thanks to the way it gets kids creative and recording films when they're out and about. And it's far cheaper than giving them a normal video camera to practice with!

Because it's so packed with features, Barbie Video Girl does cost more than a normal Barbie doll. It generally comes in at around £60 - though you can get it slightly cheaper at Amazon - but the good news is that this really is a fun toy that will last for a long time!
