Toys shape the way children see the world, so let's have THEM decide what they want to play with. A little girl should feel like she can play with trucks and a little boy should feel like he can play with dolls if they want to! Toy stores, stop separating your toys into "boys" and "girls" sections, it's totally unnecessary.
