Why are experts saying that playing with dolls is especially great for kids?

A young girl holds a Barbie doll next to a notice saying that the toy "Barbie and Tanner" made by US toy giant Mattel, which has just been recalled in the US, is out of stock at a Toys "R" Us store in Shanghai, 15 August 2007. The US Consumer Product Safety Commission announced the recall of millions of toys manufactured by Mattel Inc., including the Barbie and Tanner play sets, at the commission's headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland. According to the commission, the play sets' "scooper" accessory has a small magnet that can come loose and if more than one magnet is swallowed they can attract each other and cause intestinal perforation or blockage, which can be fatal.
