According to Bazaar Fashion, 3 Barbie dolls are sold every second. This means approximately 1 Billion dolls have been sold since 1959! Barbie is a toy that many children (and adults!) have collected and played with over the years! What was one “toy” that is memorable to you from your younger childhood days?
