Hidden Messages in Innocent Child Games

By Nicoleao @momfever

In a local thrift shop I found an old fashioned card game. I fell in love with the pretty picures and the price. It only cost $1!

But as I was admiring the drawings something struck me: the images were very stereotypical about what women and men should do!

Boys become a doctor, girls become a nurse.

I still love the pictues, but it did make me stop and think!

Are your children’s toys sending your child steretypical messages?
