Mattel has announced that they will make a bald fashion doll, a “friend of Barbie,” to give to children with cancer and illnesses that cause hair loss, following a Facebook campaign co-founded by the mother of a girl who became bald following cancer treatment. The doll will not be sold; Mattel will distribute the doll in children’s hospitals and other treatment centers. She will come with wigs, hats, and scarves ”to provide girls with a traditional fashion play experience.” This is a wonderful idea; I know girls will be comforted to have a doll who shares their experience.

I am grandmother of 9 girls under twelve and after a family pet ate hands and feet of a doll I tried to explain that she was an amputee. would love to see this in a barbie, along with attachements so kids would understand that it is a reality out there and the bald doll representing cancer should be sold also thankyou

Thanks, Diane. I like the idea of making kids comfortable with disabilities and illness.
