It's a separate question whether kids should even have all these plastic toys and representations of transient fashions -- I think it encourages materialism, envy and other qualities that parents should avoid cultivating in their children. So when I say "toys associated with both genders," I mean Lincoln logs, legos, children's books that might be thought of as "for boys" -- things that allow creativity and play at the same time.
