Baby Alive Baby Dolls

For many years, playing with dolls was considered a girls pastime.? From the 1940s to the 1960s, when dolls were extremely popular, girls did all of role-playing as the Mommy while boys played with cars and airplanes.? Today, more and more people are starting to embrace the concept of boys playing with dolls.Most parents and educators agree that activities should not be split by gender.? Boys should have as much of an opportunity as girls to play house, care for dolls, or use toy mops and brooms.? In these modern times, many men share the parenting and household duties equally with women.? Additionally, it?s just as important for boys to learn how to be gentle and loving as it is for girls to be involved in sports and other traditionally ?boy? activities.?
