Living with my two nieces I have seen the toys range from birth up to seven years old now, and my sister being a teacher, they've always been educational I just didn't always realize it.

The Bratz doll was created to be a good alternative to the Barbie; instead, she teaches sexuality through inappropriate attire and excessive makeup. The Bratz doll needs a make-over if she is going to teach girls to grow up confident.

It is recommended for age from birth-1years old. They have this toys in different colors and is unisexual. The cost of this toy is $37.22 with free shipping.

Star Wars was an extraordinary movie series in the 80’s and Disney made a new episode in the Star Wars Saga. The Force Awakens is the new movie Disney released. The protagonist is Rey, a young woman who was born on Jakku. The toy industry has made new toys of the new characters in The Force Awakens. Recently, what has shocked so many people is that in the game, Monopoly/Star Wars the protagonist (Rey) was not included into this version of Monopoly. I think that the most important movie characters, especially the protagonist of the story, should appear in these toys or games. As the article “Asleep at the switch? ‘Force Awakens’ heroine missing from toy lines” states, “A social media firestorm erupted over the lack of Rey in a new ‘Star Wars:

Toys play an important role in childhood development as children learn roles and skills from playing. As a result, the toys children are subjected to have an affect on which roles, interests, and skills are learned and practiced. Through Lego’s product Duplo, I will demonstrate the influence particular gendered toys have on children and their performance of traditional gender roles. Gender, which is a learned performance, is something society has been taught from a very early age and toy advertising has played a significant role in reinforcing the performance. One tradition that is reinforced and naturalized by society is the ideology of a male dominated society, representing strong characteristics of heterosexuality and masculinity; also known as hegemonic masculinity. Therefore, using Ideological Criticism, I will analyze how through the branding and design of Lego’s Duplo toys, children have been constructed to do gender differently, ultimately perpetuating and reinforcing hegemonic masculinity.

Did you know that LEGOs can boost young children’s engineering skills (MIT School of Engineering)? It’s true! Studies show that LEGOs can prove important for developing skills used later in life. From pink, to blue, to long or thick, LEGOs are building blocks that come in all colors, shapes and sizes. With dots on the top, and holes on the bottom, LEGOs are designed to interlock enable to form structures. LEGOs help many young children develop skills such as early engineering, fine motor skills, an creativity.

Our culture has been influenced by people with power over the years. Nowadays, the American culture is more modernized and sophisticated compared to the twenty century. Popularity and the term "going viral" are some of the words that influence the most the new pop culture. These words basically describe how awesome is today’s society. Also, these words describe how a modern epic hero should be. For example, J. K. Rowling created “The Harry Potter Series” which is a hero that influence young generations, but also motivated modern society to read more. On the other hand, we have George Lucas that influenced generations in 1977 with an epic that astonished children and adults. Lucas not only persuaded people in 1977 by the effects and sounds of the film, which in fact were really good at that time, he influenced people because of the plot and

According to the article on Asleep at the switch? “Force Awakens” heroine missing from toy line it talks about making Rey part of being in board games. But according to the creatures of the star wars movie they did not want people to see Rey toys before the people watch the movie. Then according to Disney and Hasbro company of the monopoly game they say that Rey will be added to the new monopoly games. In fact, in the past Darth Vader was one of the popular toys that was being sold in many stores. In the older movies about star wars Darth Vader was the evil lord. Now even girls like the star wars toys, but since Rey is a girl everyone wants the Rey toys. Then Steve, who runs the star wars said that it is interesting

Do movies affect what children want for their birthday’s? Yes, but not just any movie. These have to be movies where there are one or two characters that grab your attention and after the movie kids want to be them for Halloween. Kind of like Elsa from Frozen or Spiderman, when their movies came out people after they saw the movie wanted to be them. That's like Rey from Star Wars. People want to be Rey or they want Rey merchandise because she is the main protagonist. However, before the movie came out the way they advertised Star Wars The Force Awakens Rey looked like just another character and it looked like Finn was the main character. So Rey before the movie was the most misunderstood and mysterious. So when the movie came out and people

It seems that it was a smart move by selling the toys first, then the movie, Star Wars The Force Awakens. It is smart because people like to know the characters, but don't want to look it up. When you go to a store and you see one of the characters and you think, that toy looks really cool and it makes you want to see the movie even more. Even if not having Rey toys was intended or not I still think it was a good idea because people start tweeting about the toys, which gets more people more interested and searching it up themselves. Sense the producers waited to get out the Rey toys out, everyone wanted to buy them. Sense so many people wanted to buy them, they were out of stock very quickly. In the article called Asleep at the switch? “Force

Ever since the creation of Barbie in 1959, the doll has been a frontrunner in children’s entertainment. The doll’s humble beginning has progressed until Mattel can now claim, with very good reasoning, that one Barbie Doll is sold every two and a half seconds. Considering the doll’s popularity, one has to wonder how a toy that popular is effecting the children who play with the doll. Some people claim that Barbie encourages young girls to be the best they can be. Others believe that Barbie is merely a toy, and that the doll has no impacts on the child’s life at all. The truth of the matter is that Barbie can have very serious negative effects on how young girls will grow up to view their physical appearance as well as their value as human beings.

It is widely believed by many that the ever-increasing proliferation of technology within entertainment has had detrimental effects on those children exposed to them, with many youngsters forgoing the more traditional pursuits in favour of digital interaction with online acquaintances or artificial intelligence. Entertainment now contains a wide variety of technologies including television (standard or interactive), music, computers, games consoles, toys and the internet, to name but a few. The aim of this study is to identify whether these technologies have an impact on the behaviour of children in either a negative or positive aspect.

The first toy that I would choose is puzzles. Puzzles help promote social-emotional development because a child has to work to solve the picture and two children or more could help in putting a puzzle together. The second toy that I chose is play appliances and cooking tools as this will help children develop their imagination and also help them with social skills. The third toy that I chose is clay and modeling dough because it also allows children to create different items and is cooperative play. The fourth toy that I chose dress-up clothes for a variety of roles (doctor, fire fighter, vet, cop, etc.) and I decide on this type of toy because it has both imaginative and social play. The last toy that I decided to chose is small trucks, cars,

The types of toys children play with can affect how they develop. Toys can help or hinder a child’s development in intelligence, social skills and personality. Certain characteristics may be genetically entwined in a human being, but some characteristics and behaviors can be learned, from parents, surroundings, and the toys with which a youngster plays. Elise Moore, author of “How Do Toys Aid Development”, stated “if play is the work of the child, toys are the child’s tools” (Moore, 2).

Watery eyes, flaring nostrils, flailing limbs, and the temper of a furious bull, your child is having a horrendous tantrum. Even though you’ve taught them morals and positive values, this seems to recurring issue. There is one question all parents must ask themselves, “ What kind of outside influences am I allowing my child to govern themselves with on a daily basis?” These days, boys and girls alike face the incessant impact of society in their social, intellectual, emotional, and behavioral lives. This influence starts at a young age with the toys and games our little tykes surround themselves with.
