Would you buy a boy girls toys and visa versa - Page 3

My LO has both girls and boys toys. she has cars, a train set and lego etc, but she's a proper girly girl and loves her dollys and prams doesn't really bother wth 'boys toys'. I think its men who have a problem with there sons playing with dolls and prams, my BIL goes mad that i let my nephew play with my LO's dolls and prams hehe

my ds likes the prams at playgroup too we have brought him a blocks trolley though for home as its harder to tip over and he sits his teddys on there and gives them rides its cute, i dont think i would go out and start buying him lots of dolls and pink toys though, im happy to get him a kitchen playset as i see that as gender neutual but we like him to play more with solid wooden toys and use his imaganiation than lots of plastic things that will break easy, We will probably either get a doll of some sort or Teddy that can be his "baby" when the baby is born to aid him in learning how to treat and play with a baby " not to touch eyes etc,,"

I really want to get Brenn this little tea set a friend has and he loves playing with it at her house. I won't be getting him any dolls as he is totally freaked out by them when we go to his little girl friend's house. It's kinda funny to see his reaction to the dolls.

my daughters 4 and shes got lots of boys and girls toys.

she loves tools, trains, cars and dinosaurs but also loves my little pony, dora and disney princesses.

my favourite toy as a kid was a rubber hulk!

it will make no difference to the way he grows up, to him its just something he pushes along and he sees him mum do it all the time!

I buy mainly girly toys but a lot of her toys would be classed as boys toys. She loves cars and footballs and she has a handy manny and his tools as well

AJ has a sweeping brush/mop/dustpan and brush set, a baby He's just been bought a washing machine as a gift.
He loves prams and I would buy him one if he wants one.

My nephew also has a baby and a pram and he loves his too.

Nothing wrong with your LO having something they enjoy that is associated with the opposite sex.
I will admit to not 'wanting' to buy all of those things in Pink though especially as they come in other colours. I'm not a great fan of pink anyway.

i wouldnt class a tea set as a 'girls toys'

Tyler has one

I wouldnt buy him a doll if im honest or a pram.. but thats just me

Naya69 · Feb 26th, 2010, 18:39 PM

wow i cant believe how many people actually believe its good to buy both gender toys for child i always thought it was a bad thing to buy a boy a pram so glad i dont have to feel bad my little boy has a pram and doll.

since josh got his teddy hes been sharing his food and drinks with it and its rubbed off on his friends s he will share his food and drink with them

lollylou1 · Feb 26th, 2010, 19:10 PM

im all for boys and girls playing with opposite toys if i had a boy who wanted a dolly i would let him have one and if annabelle wants a garage and cars and tools etc she can have that too, which i imagine will be very likely as she is seriously not a delicate flower girly she is a rough and toumble tom boy in the making LOL

I have a son and a daughter, because they are close in age they just play with each others toys. I dont discourage anything that they want to do!

Sometimes they will play barbies together and other times they will play rough and tumble, cars etc.
