04/21/20: Toy Story Observation

When it comes to toys and how they are organized I know at my job we have a kids section in our store and I work with the people to clean it up and how to decorate it and I can tell you that toys are organized as being gender separate. When it comes to room decor we have a blue side and then we have a side where stuff is pink we create table that are put forth on this is how to decorate your sons room and then here’s another table and this is how you will decorate your daughters room. During Christmas time this is very prevalent because that is when we create whole sections with the genders but at the same time we have puzzles so we considering those the most gender neutral unless it has a dinosaur then we put that in the boys section. When it comes to the barbies and the baby stuff then is put near the girls or anything dealing with foods and play house and the guys get more of the nerf guns and the cars and also more of the scientific things. When customers come to me and say they want to put together. a baby shower gift I always ask what gender to start the base of the basket but at the same time I am aware that sometimes they are having a baby shower and there is no gender yet announced and it gets harder because everything is usually pink or blue so I usually go to spectrum of yellow and grey. So some toys and colors are gender neutral but for majority there is signs for the gender aimed at whether that be what gender the person is on the box playing with the toys.
