The Chirping Moms

The New Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™

Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™
When my girls first saw the #BarbieHelloDreamhouse they were screaming in excitement. I’m not sure I have ever seen them this excited about any toy before. They were jumping up and down, hugging each other and pointing out all the “amazing” things in each room. And all of this excitement came before they even knew that their new Barbie® Hello DreamHouse™ was going to start talking to them.

To take a step back… My girls have wanted a Barbie house for a long time. They love playing with Barbies; it’s something they really enjoy doing together. I was hesitant because Barbie’s house is quite large, and our house has limited space. Then I remembered how much I loved the Barbie® DreamHouse™ when I was little. I didn’t have one of my own, but my cousins did. I played at their house a few times a week and we immediately started playing with the Barbie Dreamhouse every time. This lasted for years. I can still picture every room in the Dreamhouse and have the best memories of sitting there playing Barbies with my cousins.

So this year, when we had an opportunity to check out the new Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™ I decided it was time to bring Barbie’s house to our house.
Now, the Barbie Hello Dreamhouse is not just any dollhouse. It’s Barbie’s new smart house! It’s the cool tech kids toy of 2016, and it takes playing with Barbie to a whole new level. This new smart house is all about child-directed play. Barbie Hello Dreamhouse is Wi-Fi connected and uses speech recognition to bring each child’s imagination to life. Like most tech that kids come in contact with these days, my girls figured out features of the house even faster than I did. The kids can say “Hello Dreamhouse” and after it “beeps” they can give the house a command. These commands range from “Check my messages please” to “turn on the oven”. Our favorite is the fashion show. The kids says, “Hello Dreamhouse, let’s have a fashion show.” The Dreamhouse tells the kids to let it know when they are ready”. Once they reply, fashion music and interactive play begins!

I asked my girls what some of their favorite features of the Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™ are. Here are their responses:
Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™
Maggie, almost 7 years old:
  • The elevator that goes up and down when you ask it to
  • The ringing doorbell
  • The fireplace that turns on when you ask
  • Barbie’s office with the picture of the cat
  • You can ask Barbie Hello Dreamhouse to turn the lights off and on
  • Barbie has a shower that turns on and sounds real

Alex, Age: 5
  • The staircase turns into a slide for Barbie when you ask it to
  • The disco ball that lights up and spins around
  • Barbie’s bedroom is so pretty
  • You can ask Barbie Hello Dreamhouse to play dance music!
  • Getting to talk to a toy

Here are some other features of the house:
100+ Commands
50+ Sounds and Songs
Voice Activated
House Responds!
6 controllable rooms
You customize with app
We’ve had the Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™ for about a week now, and it’s led to endless hours of play. The girls have invited other friends over to play with it, too. The girls learned how to use the Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™ quickly, but we feel like we are still discovering new features every day. I like that I can control things from the app on my phone. For example, this morning I added a dog barking sound that plays every time they ask the elevator to go up or down! There is so much fun to be had with the Barbie® Hello Dreamhouse™. I would highly recommend this as a gift this holiday season.

    Yes I’d really love, and I mean LOVE to buy one for my girl for Christmas. It’s all she’s asked for or wants. But I’ve looked for days, everywhere, every store and online. No one has it. Not Amazon, Walmart not even Mattel!! What the heck!! My baby girl is going to be heartbroken which in turn will break my heart. I’m glad you was able to purchase one for your girls.
