Barbie just revealed that they're coming out with a new doll, and this one has down syndrome! In an effort to help kids with disabilities feel more included and represented, the doll is going to be a part of the Barbie Fashionistas lineup that will be in stores this summer.
According to KTLA, Barbie worked hand and hand with the National Down Syndrome Society to get the best accuracy of what a child with down syndrome looks like. From the palm of the hands, to the face shape, shorter torso and more, hopefully kids will be able to feel represented.
The doll also comes with pink ankle foot orthotics and a pink pendant necklace with three upward chevrons, which represent the three copies of the 21st chromosome, according to KTLA.
The Barbie is available to be purchased online now.
