KANSAS CITY, MO — Barbie made her debut on March 9, 1959 at the American International Toy Fair in New York, and she quickly became a toy icon. Now celebrating 60 years, it’s time to honor her with a big bash this weekend. Laura Taylor of the National Museum of Toys and Miniatures fills us in on their Big Barbie Birthday Bash going on this Saturday – complete with fun activities, tours, a Barbie shoe charm bracelet, fashion doll tours, Barbie trivia, cupcakes and more!
