Our new resources will help teachers who want to challenge gender stereotypes in the classroom. Visit our new schools pages: http://www.lettoysbetoys.org.uk/schools/ Children are keen to fit in and quickly pick up ideas about what’s supposedly ‘for boys’ or ‘for girls’, but stereotyped ideas can limit their aspirations and opportunities. They may worry if their favourite toys or hobbies don't 'fit', and parents and carers are often concerned that children who challenge these norms will be teased or bullied. We’ve worked with teachers to develop new materials including 'Ten tips for challenging stereotypes in the classroom', 'Why we must challenge gender stereotypes in school' and a lesson plan to get children talking about stereotypes and marketing through a topic that all kids love – toys. http://www.lettoysbetoys.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Schoolplayground_580.jpg
