Now more than ever, toy and clothing manufacturers are needed to create neutral choices for children. Those are not specifically pushing pink, fluffy princess outfits for girls, and everything about the theme of firetruck for boys. Providing unisex products allows children to play and explore outside of traditional gender roles, promote their overall development, and enable them to follow their own unique interests, regardless of any gender connections that these activities may have in the past.
Although dolls and monster trucks do not have any inherent problems, toys without strong gender associations encourage children to simply play instead of stereotypes. Here are some of our favorite children’s gifts, suitable for any gender identity.
It is soft, baby-sized, and has cute ears. The Jellycat Bashful Gray Bunny baby stuffed animal safety blanket takes the standard "safety blanket" one step further by adding a sweet, close-fitting critter (Amazon, $22.50). You can't go wrong with the squeaky Giraffe Sophie (US$26.98). Its neck is easily grasped by small hands, and its soft nose is perfect for nibbling. The same goes for the Wubbanub baby pacifier, its small animal provides extra comfort and weight to keep the pacifier in the baby's mouth.
Use these Aden Anais tea series swaddle blankets (very suitable for everything from tummy time to use as a nursing blouse) or Burpy Bibs to complement your new parents’ blanket collection, whose round shape can be made into stunning over-the-shoulder hiccups (they ) There are 24 kinds of patterns, two-piece priced at 11.99 US dollars). Both are made of fine cloth, which will become softer every time you wash.
For toys that you may like as much as your baby, please enter Talking Cactus (Amazon, $28.99). Not only can it sing and "dance", it can also record the baby's voice and imitate them, allowing the baby to have a very cute dialogue with itself. Or combine two things that babies love: In Taggies Crinkle Me Toy ($10.94, Amazon), they can pull up wrinkle books and tags.
Give your baby a bit of music in his life: Baby Einstein Take Carry Tunes ($8.88) allows your baby to easily hold and press classical tunes, while Munchkin Mozart Magic Cube ($19.95) includes the sounds of harp, flute, French horn, piano and violin instruments Fisher-Price Deluxe Kick'n Play Piano Gym (Amazon, $39.98) provides hours of musical fun, everything is accompanied by the baby's kick.
When children become flexible and talkative, their curiosity and love for imaginative games will take off. My toddler spent countless hours in our Kidcraft Modern White Play Kitchen (US$169.99). With this Melissa & Doug Wooden Frozen Treats Ice Cream Game Set (US$14.99), he took orders over the phone and made hundreds of unique "Ice Cream and Sausage" works. Increase the fun with this Scoop & Stack magnetic ice cream cone set ($23.99) and Grill & Serve 20-piece grill set ($18.88). In my experience, toddlers rarely get tired of cutting fruit ($16.76) or offering you a wooden birthday cake with velcro gum on top ($29.99). Of course, every budding chef needs a retro cash register to pay for their supplies (Fisher-Price, $21.92) and a shopping cart to ship their groceries; this work from Little Tikes can solve the problem ($24.99).
B. Toys Interactive Cat Piano (US$26.99) allows young musicians to sing, tickle (imitation) ivory, record their voices, or play to the beat of a banjo and electronic music. The Fisher-Price Laugh & Learn tablet ($18.52) keeps toddlers busy in the coach and familiarizes little ears with the letters of the alphabet.
Do you know anyone who likes to push colorful bubbles and hear them burst? Toddlers. Fat Brain Toys' Dimpl ($12.95) allows them to enjoy. Use Step 2 to ride a roller coaster ($133.59) to take riding toys to the next level, or use the Kid Trax Toddler Recycling Truck ($199.99) to take the fun to the next level. People of this age will love the Melissa & Doug farm animal sound puzzle ($14.99) and the wooden puzzle set (8 puzzles at $23.79). With only 12 pieces each, they are a great way to help young children feel like a capable puzzle game (with the help of mom or dad).
Preschoolers have longer attention spans and are able to play more "unmanned" or alone without the company of their parents or friends. (This is not to say that they will not try to make you do the same puzzles disgusting.) For small hands and big curiosities, try Kid OA to Z Magnatab ($29.95) and let their hands learn how to track letters with a magnetic pencil . A set of Lego Duplo bricks ($24) (larger than traditional Lego bricks), Mega Bloks ($14.92) or a cheaper version of Magna Tiles called Picasso Tiles ($30.99) will provide them with plenty of Create space.
Make an emoji sticker book ($14.95) to entertain the brothers and sisters who quarrel the most (and make them honourably busy in the restaurant). Don't sleep on the Mr. Potato Head Tub Set, its various eyes and mouth provide silly fun. Zingo ($21.99) provides prospective readers with an interesting entry into the world of bingo and board games.

For the sensory experience, there is the squeezable Kinetic Sand Sandisfactory Set ($17.99), which can be scooped, squashed and shaped into different shapes. Similarly, Play Foam ($17.99 for a pack of 10 colors) will provide them with the tactile experience they love without leaving a mess (really). At the older end of this range, Perler's Biggie Beads ($12.99) can keep small hands busy and focus for a while, making the nail plate ($10) pattern perfect.
Five-year-olds love to help-now is a good time to introduce cooperative board games! Cooperative board games are not competitive, but require players to work together for a common goal. Peaceful kingdoms compete for treasure! The game ($15.99) recruits players to develop strategies and establish paths and defeat ogres to obtain loot. In Gnomes at Night ($23.27), they must communicate to move the magnetic gnomes around the maze. Although not cooperative, Sleeping Queens ($9.99) and eeBoo American Geography Bingo ($19.99) are wonderful and fun ways for elementary school students to do simple math and study in remote states.
Parents may not like the slimy and shiny materials in the home, but children definitely like them. Elmer’s Galaxy Slime Starter Pack ($9.83) will keep them busy; in order to reduce the confusion, let the children use Aqua Beads Deluxe Studio ($24.99) to create familiar objects and animals. The Crayola Ultimate Light Board ($27.99) allows them to draw endlessly on shiny, erasable surfaces, and Kiwi Crates expands the minds of young people through art, science, and engineering projects. (Note: Kiwi Crates of this age need parental involvement).
Although Fidget Toy, and more specifically, the Pop It boom is not unique to this age group, I have witnessed many Fidget Toy trade negotiations 8 years ago, so it is here. Sensory Fidget Toys (think: all kinds of small plastic things that you can squeeze, pull, twist, and pop) have endless arrays and prices, depending on their composition and quantity. This set of 38 pieces is $12.99. The same is true of Pop It. It is a subspecies of fingertip toys. Although it is slightly more suitable for girls, there are also many shapes and colors suitable for boys.
Children can't resist the suspense of building a tower to see whose mistake will cause it to crash in the Jenga game ($19.99). Square Up ($24.95) provides a fast-paced visual thinking challenge for one or two children as they randomly move colored pieces to match the patterns in the cube vibrator. Guess who is one of the greatest sibling games of different ages, because whether they are five or eight years old, children love to find and eliminate all red-haired men or women with glasses.
The Flybar Maverick Pogo Stick ($48.99) may function like your young pogo stick, but with a rubber grip and a foam-covered metal frame, it is more comfortable. Let the children cruise around on the Mini Cruiser Retro Skateboard ($44), which comes in nine colors.
Let budding young readers follow Jack and Anne brothers and sisters on a time travel adventure in the Magic Tree House series (Books 1-4, $11.95). Of course, there is the ultimate electronic game gift for kids: the all-around Nintendo Switch ($299.99). It's not cheap (its game cards are not cheap either, averaging $60 each), but it is guaranteed to inspire happiness in the eyes of young players.
For pre-tween settings, the Fujifilm Instax mini camera ($150) can provide hours of vintage Polaroid photography fun (be sure to stock extra film). An 18-color tie-dye kit ($19) allows them to easily tighten and make multi-color shirts, and the Refasy Piggy Bank ATM ($34.99) allows them to store their rapidly growing Tooth Fairy cash. Let them use this 12-piece magnetic dart board ($35.99) for hand-eye coordination, or take a hoverboard self-balancing scooter ($150) to a friend's house. For those who like music, the Ashthorpe Junior Acoustic Guitar ($49) is designed for young players just starting out.
Adolescence brings new interests, such as being proud of their bedroom appearance. Use a Big Joe Dorm beanbag chair ($57-61) or Big Joe Milano gray plush chair ($55) or a string of earth lights ($18) to help them create their crib to create an atmosphere. They also like "commodities"-that is, any product related to their favorite online games or YouTube users. Gamers who like to complete strategic group tasks while inferring destructive imposters will love the loot among us. If in doubt, ask who their favorite YouTube anchors are (if they visit the Internet frequently, they are more likely to subscribe to popular YouTube anchors—and they all have T-shirts and hoodies for fans And ball cap online store.
