Gender Stereotypes Among Children's Toys       When you walk into the toy section of any store, you do not need a sign to indicate which section is the girls’ side and which section is the boys’ side. Aside from all the pink, purple, and other pastel colors that fill the shelves on the girls’ side, the glitter sticks out a lot as well. The boys’ toys however are mostly dark colors – blue, black, red, gray, or dark green. The colors typically used on either side are very stereotypical in themselves

It’s clearly that using lead paint is bad but let those toys get to the customer isn’t it worst? If I own a car toy factory and I allow my neighbor to produce my car and my neighbor use toxic paint to paint them then we are both in the wrong.

This is shown in a variety of ways the boy's items are mainly the color blue and the books have pictures of either action figures, superheroes or tools. Whereas the girl's items are mainly the color pink. The books show pictures of

Every person has an interest in which they enjoy doing. Having an interest is like having a hobby because both are about having fun. To begin, the one thing that interests me is Legos. From the time I got a Lego Police set for my twelfth birthday, I have been fascinated with the idea that I can create something with building blocks. I see Legos as building blocks because when connected they create a new product whether it be a house, a building, or a stadium. My Police set consisted of a Jail building

Mans Toys Review Genesis Gaming launched nearly a decade ago, but in that time it hasn’t really been able to dent the online slots market. The developer has pretty much spent the best part of 10 years floating under the radar, but considering how quickly the production line has been churning out tiles as of late, they are now making a play to improve market position.
