The girls’ toys are Barbie, Disney Frozen, princess, hello kitty, make your own jewelry kits, baby dolls, and easy bake ovens. Almost all of the children will use their imaginations and create stories about the character they are playing with at the time.

Toy stores are fun for anyone to go into, so for this assignment I went to an actual toy store. For me a toy aisle wasn’t good enough. I wanted that childlike feeling of joy, wonder, and awe.
