years ago the ads featured both boys and girls but somebody figured out they could make more money by fragmenting by gender the products and therefore the ads. My girls play with Legos almost every day and one summer attended lego camp but they were the only girls there. the only "girl" set was a gift but they rarely play with it.
I love these. I saw Lands End now has girl's shirts with science themes. I only have boys, so I really never noticed this stuff was lacking. I'm glad someone did.
This is terrific, my five year old has both Lego City (police and fire) and Lego Friends (swimming pool and bakery) but in asking for new she leans much more towards the City items. To her I think the girlie ones are just part of the over all city. I would definitely get her these if it seems like she is old enough and I think Lego should start even younger.
Why are Legos all "sets" now???? I never see just a box of Lego bricks anymore. It would be nice to let kids CREATE rather than follow a set of directions on how to build something.
When I was little, all I wanted was Legos. I begged for them constantly and never got them because I was a girl and Legos were "not for girls". (This was back in the mid-1960s). I wanted to create skyscrapers and cities and whatever else I could think of ..... I never got them
I'm glad they're gearing stuff like this for girls now but I wish they would encourage them to use their imaginations and create rather than do what the company tells them to do and build.
My 5 yr old daughter is not interested in it. She rather play with princesses and look pretty. There's nothing I can do to change that, this is her natural preference. My wife loves watching sci-fi but not interested in real science, that's just how some people are and majority of women are like her enjoys watching sci-fi but not interested in real science even if there are images of smart women.
