My daughter plays the same games (e.g. Minecraft) as the boys. She plays with the same Lego bricks as the boys. It's not that she doesn't see the differences, especially at school - it's that we don't make the differences seem like anything to worry about at this point.
By the time those differences matter more, I hope to have her self-confidence to the point where she'll kick those boys' butts.
- cicloid 15y agoMaybe, the only sad part is that creativity toys like Lego have somehow stopped being gender neutral. Have you seen the latest sets?
- JonnieCache 15y agoYou can't make shit with the girl lego. You can go shopping though.

- tomjen3 15y agoOne does not buy the latest lego sets -- one buys what ever magnum box they have with the most blocks. Especially if you are concerned about the image.
- lbotos 15y agoWhile I don't argue that the majority of lego sets are geared towards boys they still run the Lego City line as well as the Harry Potter line which does seem to be relatively popular with girls. (My Ex-gf played with legos and loved the Harry Potter Stuff.)
- jacquesm 15y agoLego sets may be geared towards boys for the most part but plain lego bricks are about the most gender neutral toy you could possibly find. And it seems that kids of either gender (and any age!) appreciate them equally.
