For the second year running, Mattel has kicked off the summer holidays with a Barbie Dream Camper and a Hot Wheels Hauler tour, running until 20 August.

Both the life-sized Dream Camper and Hauler are immersive brand experiences, with each truck packed with activities to keep children entertained.

The Barbie Dream Camper has Barbie photo opportunities, a Barbie slide, toy play areas with the new Dreamhosue on display and prize giveaways, while the Hot Wheels Hauler will include a gaming station, exclusive toy demos, photo opportunities and play activities, plus giveaways.

The trucks will visit Smyths toy stores for the six weeks of the summer holidays, with 30 events running across three different stores per week (Friday, Saturday and Sunday) throughout July and August.

Both tours will set off from Glasgow, with Barbie Dream Camper already on the road and the Hot Wheels Hauler starting today (28 July).
