When I search for it it does not come up if I narrow my search to 'Boy'. Ugh. The more I think about this issue the more complicated it gets.

I'll have to test that out. I remember wanting a NERF football when I was a kid so I could catch football without hurting my hands.

My youngest son (now 23) used to play with a baby doll when he was a toddler and my daughter (now 40) didn't like dolls and preferred plushies and "boy" toys. Having said that, if I'm looking for a toy for a boy - maybe for birthday or someone I don't really know well - I will search under boy toys. There are SO MANY, TONS of toys, and this item specific helps to narrow down the number of items. I don't want to look at dolls if I'm shopping for a boy. BTW, I list all my NERF gun toys as boys/girls. I think these are great fun!!Quiltpiecerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348556352125359529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-9630231418772729192014-03-23T00:00:28.269-07:002014-03-23T00:00:28.269-07:00This comment has been removed by the author.Quiltpiecerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08348556352125359529noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-8377932197252715312014-03-22T14:16:24.380-07:002014-03-22T14:16:24.380-07:00Good to know how you do it!Good to know how you do it!Nancyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13938880698057594793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-4943283815450431102014-03-22T09:38:11.714-07:002014-03-22T09:38:11.714-07:00if its legos i typically do boys and girls unless ...if its legos i typically do boys and girls unless its the pink friends line. Also I typically do boys and girls unless its a doll. Even the Littlest Pet Shop (traditionally a girls toy) i brought home to sell and my 2 boys latched right on to them (to make them fight of course) but my daughter could care less. I dont like to skip specifics either.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05888063968178099448noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7517973704817315385.post-31592605029417285762014-03-22T03:54:10.325-07:002014-03-22T03:54:10.325-07:00Exactly.

When I was growing up, I always played with boy toys because I had older brothers and wanted to be like them. The way toys, and kids in general, are divided by gender so strongly, it really angers me. Even when something is clearly marketed towards one gender or another, I make my description gender-neutral. Fun shouldn't be restricted to just boys or girls, and no one should feel bad for playing with 'the wrong toys'.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04916378571527199033noreply@blogger.com
