I know I’m not the only mom who is seriously over gender stereotypes in kids’ toys and clothing.
Sure, there’s been some push in recent years for stores to shift from traditionally gendered “girl toys” and “boy toys” to more gender-neutral toy displays. But I’m still seeing aisles of pink princess toys next to aisles of cars and trucks, aren’t you?
It can be frustrating to try to find unique girl gifts amidst the sea of glitter, bows, and bubblegum pink. And our girls are way more unique than that traditional “girly girl” stereotype.
Sure, our girls play with Barbies. But they also race Matchbox cars.
Yes, our girls host pretend tea parties. But they just might do it in superhero capes.
And sure, our girls bake pretend treats in play kitchens. But they make messy mud pies outside, too!
That’s why I’ve curated this awesomely-empowering Girl Power Gift Guide full of the super cool toys, books, clothes, and other gifts that empower girls (not put them in that same old pink box). From girl power t-shirts to tween girls gifts, STEM gifts for girls to toddler girl toys, you’ll find the very best empowering gifts for girls from toddler through tween!
