#PetitePeachy #ArtisticPeachy @Barbie @Crayola Barbie and Crayola Partner on New Product Line Further Inspiring Imagination and Creativity, Two Legendary Brands Come Together to Create the Most Customizable Fashion Play Experience on the Market

Today, Barbie and Crayola announced a new product line, combining the No. 1 fashion doll with the No. 1 worldwide producer of arts and crafts products. Barbie chose to partner with Crayola as their products have sparked the creative spirit in children for nearly 115 years.

Barbie and Crayola have a longstanding relationship in a variety of categories, including coloring books and Color Alive, but this is the first time the brands are joining forces in the doll aisle. The new fashion activity line incorporates Crayola’s popular ultra-clean technologies to create unique crafting play with color-in fashions, tie-dye designs, stamps and confetti.

"Barbie and Crayola are both trusted brands that inspire self-expression and we are excited to see what can be created when we join forces. Our collaboration is built on the brands’ shared and complementary consumer bases, play patterns, and end benefits; it made sense that we would come together to develop this new product line," said Sejal Shah Miller, Vice President of Global Marketing for Mattel. "We know parents value creative and imaginative play, which we can enable and enhance by offering the best products with the best partners."

To support the product launch and further inspire creativity, Barbie will launch the Barbie x Crayola Create It Yourself YouTube content series in February 2018. The videos will showcase how to leverage both Barbie and Crayola to further inspire customization and ignite creation.

"At Crayola, we’re all about inspiring creativity through color and customized play experiences, and our partnership with Barbie demonstrates this continued passion," said Warren Schorr, Vice President of Business Development and Global Licensing at Crayola. "We know kids love fashion and colorful design and giving them a way to express and create their unique style with Barbie is a perfect fit. We look forward to our continued collaboration and providing kids with innovative and imaginative activities."

The line will be housed in the Barbie doll aisle and some of the products will be available this holiday season. The full line will roll out to retailers in 2018, both domestically and internationally. The products are accessibly priced, ranging from $9.99 to $39.99.

The two brands plan to continue the collaboration into 2019, expanding the Barbie fashion activity line by leveraging Crayola’s proprietary crafting technology pipelines.

"As you know from my past features, Peachy Deegan and I were in the same class at Boston College prior to either of us becoming entrepreneurs. When we played together on the BC Alumni softball team in Central Park years ago, she mentioned she could not find a great dentist in Manhattan and could often be found networking on her phone in the outfield hiding from the ball. She was my second patient ever in 2006 when I opened my dental practice; I was one of the first sponsors on Whom You Know and the first Mover and Shaker featured in 2009 and have worked with her continuously since. She's even talked her friends that are doctors into being my patients, and they subsequently send their hospital colleagues. I don't know anyone that is as great of a networker and writer as Peachy, nevermind that she is upstanding and always good for her word. Cosmopolitan Dental is so happy to be in the company of the caliber of major brands she works with today, and although she will tell you a million ways to get your teeth dirty between Peachy's Picks, Terrific Takeout and Peachy's Pantry, Peachy Deegan will tell you there is only one way to get your teeth clean!"
