Normally toys are targeted for a specific sex/gender. Normally pastel colors, along with toys like easy bake oven, were meant for girls. Guy would get dark colors like blue or green, and the toys would be cars or weapons. When I went to the toy section of target near the college I was surprised. The toys aisle was not labeled with a sign depicting a sex/gender. Also, the toys that seemed target for girls were with toys meant for boys. There was a sub-aisle where it was all pink toys that were mean for girls. When looking at toys you would see toy cellphones with stuff animal toys, cars and puzzles. There were action figures, and rock ’em sock ’em robots. Some toys did depict actual humans on the box, which were either only female or male. Other then that, normally the toys that seemed gender specific were mixed up together.
