Abstract

Toys have an important impact on children’s gender socialization, but this is an area of insufficient attention. Based on literature review and the development history of toys, this paper summarizes the influence of toys on the formation of children’s gender concept. Toys mainly affect the shaping of children’s gender role in three aspects: male and female appearance, personality traits and social roles, and also affect children’s choice after adulthood, aiming to break gender prejudice and create more possibilities for children to freely explore themselves and the world.
