Toys for girls range from girly toys like dolls, doll houses and dress-up clothes, to toys that defy traditional gender rolls like sporting equipment and games.
Some popular girls dolls include Barbie, Bratz, Disney Princess and Our Generation Dolls. These come with various accessories, including different outfits, houses, and cars. The Our Generation Dolls also include books, making them more of an educational toy than many of the other doll options. Girls also enjoy playing with a variety of stuffed animals including teddy bears, stuffed monkeys and cats. Stuffed toys are also good companions for infants and small children because their soft material is safe.
Girls toys also include arts and crafts. These include paints, markers, easels and art supplies. Other crafts projects are pottery sets, friendship bracelets, paint-by-numbers, and sewing machines. These projects help develop artistic skills and reveal the creativity of children. Craft projects for children can lead to a life-long interest in arts and crafts.
Dress-up is also a popular activity for girls. Purchasable toys include princess costumes, make-up sets, PlaySkool houses, and kitchen sets. There are also toys like the EASY-BAKE oven where children can make food like cookies, french fries, and pizza. Children love the experience of making their own food in this small, unique toy.
Finally, not all girls toys are about being girly. Legos, tinker toys, and building blocks are great fun for boys and girls alike. Block play has been proven to develop motor and verbal skills. Board and card games are also great for all children.
