Let Toys be Toys

Let Toys be Toys

Today my three year old son, while watching Arkadius Kul, had his first moment of being told dolls--specifically Monster High--were "just for girls." I knew it was coming, but I would like him to innocenly enjoy both my dolls and his own, including a range of mini-hims I made for him,without being shamed, for just a little bit longer.

We told him it was a very silly thing for the daddy on the show to say, but it feels like the beginning.

So two things: first, I would like to promote the #LetToysBeToys hashtag, a movement to end unnecessary gendering of toys.

And second--here is one of my boy's favourite Monster Highs, the fabulous rainbow unicorn zombie, Neighthan Rot.
