Play- Yvelisse tries likes to bring in special toys for “show and tell” which she rarely lets anyone touch, play with, or look at.

Interestingly, “make believe toys” featured boys-only and girls-only equally, but there was a clear distinction. This article is very detailed, and not too broad; therefore
When you first enter the toy section of Walmart, you don’t really need signs to know which side is for boys and which side is for girls. Besides all of the purples, pinks and pastels that filled the shelves on the young girls’ side, it was also a glitter wonderland. On the boys’ side, however, were darker colors – black, gray, blue, red, or dark green. I found that a lot of the toys that I saw were dedicated to roleplaying, which we discovered in class, is crucial to childhood socialization. The

On Walmart’s website their toy section has many different filter options to pick from the first three being, category, trending, or by gender.
