Girls Toys
Toys that no boy would be caught dead playing with (toys for girls)
A lot of toys meant for boys wind up having loads of success with girls. Name any superhero off the top of your head, and that superhero has a huge girl fanbase. Even the Ninja Turtles, a bunch of lazy, ugly, pizza-chomping, sewer dwelling street fighters had a lot of girl fans back in their heyday. All it takes is a strong female character like April O’Neil or Storm, of the X-Men, and boom, there you go, instant crossover appeal.
It’s a little tougher with boys. Sailor Moon has plenty of cool male characters like Tuxedo Mask, but just try telling a boy that. Most boys won’t touch anything pink, anything frilly, and if it’s purple, it had better be a dark purple.
A Miniature Dream House
If you ask any girl with a dollhouse what their favourite toy is, it’s probably going to be their dollhouse. Doll houses are more than a simple toy, they’re actually quite empowering. Children don’t have much say when it comes time to furnish and decorate their own homes, but a kid with a dollhouse is a homeowner, with all the rights and privileges of an adult with their own house.
There are several varieties of dollhouses available, but what really counts is the accessories. Just as a new home isn’t quite yours until you’ve got it just how you like it, a doll house isn’t quite right until it’s got all the right furniture and decor. Looking online for accessories is a great way to select from a wider variety, rather than just trying to see if the local department store has just the right stuff.
