PINK LEGO - Do products like this help to enforce gender divide...

This is not an easy question to answer!



I have two children, a boy (10) who has lots of lego and enjoys both building the kits models and free-style building/play and a daughter (6) who played with duplo when a toddler, but wasn't otherwise that interested.  However that all changed at Christmas as she was given a number of the 'Friends' range.  She builds and re-builds that with confidence and is after using her brother's lego to extend her play value! 



We don't have a gender-typical household, as I work full-time, with my husband at home picking the kids up from school and doing the cooking!  Mummy is best for maths/science homework, Daddy for history/geography and we split the rest!  My daughter is a very 'pink' girly girl and for her having access to pink Lego has got her engaged and then allowing her to expand her skills into constrction modelling that she wouldn't have done otherwise...



So in conclusion I think it does provide an opportunity to engage more girls, so is a good thing.
