10 Barbie Pool Essentials for the Best End of Summer Party

What better way to end a fabulous, Barbie-filled summer than a Barbie pool party and Barbie-Q? We’ve got just the shopping list to host the ultimate bash and turn your outdoor space into an over-the-top playland worthy of the Barbie Dreamhouse. There’s a reason the backyard pool area was the winning space on Barbie Dreamhouse Challenge (besides the insanely aesthetic design, not to mention that pink pool slide!). There are so many ways to make your pool over into a dreamy pink fantasy.
