Interested in a toy race car for your boy? A new barbie doll for the girl?
This Christmas, your focus should be on breaking stereotypes.
Below are three of the best children’s Christmas gift ideas for the gender-neutral giver in you:
1) Easy-Bake Oven: Reacting to a 13-year-old girl’s complaint that her little brother loves cooking but is not interested in playing with a “girl’s” toy, manufacturer Hasbro has announced in media that it will substitute its conventional pink and purple oven design with a more boy-friendly silver and black model.
2) Redecorate LEGO: Denmark-based LEGO has come up with a new line of its traditional boy-oriented plastic building-block toy known as LEGO Friends. LEGO says the new look gives girls an opportunity to create, develop, redecorate and remodel. What’s more, it also includes new LEGO mini-dolls.
3) Gender-Neutral Dollhouses: Widely been regarded as a girl’s favourite, the conventional dollhouse is going to witness a makeover aimed at capturing the imaginations of boys. Toymaker Moolka has a model that trades pink finish for a brown wood, tailor made for boys.
