and told the aide that I was new. She said to have a good day at school, and then she had to go. The aide then asked me what I liked to do. I shrugged. I was very frightened of all of the kids in the gym. The aide asked, “Do you want to go play with legos”. I shook my head. The aide suggested, “Would you sit by the boys with the pokemon cards”. I said no. The aide said, for one final time, said, “Can you go play blocks with Zach”? For some reason, I relented. I think that with my mom telling me…

Of course, when we all settle down to watch the traditional A Christmas Story, all of the little kids would be running around the house with their new Barbies or Legos chasing each other and occasionally interrupting the movie.

When marketing, it is important to know whether color and location affect a person’s decision to take the product or not. Previous studies have looked at the effect that color and location has had on the taking behavior of people.

They were asked to rate their three most and least liked colors from a neutral color…

Toys are a major component in young children’s lives. However, many toys are specifically designed based on the gender roles our society has enforced.

Holly would be considered remarkably exquisite and not ordinary in today’s society. Holly is not active in sports, but is very artistic and creative. Out of the two, she would much rather sit in her room and draw, or create new building designs with legos, than go outside and play sports.
