My older brother had Lincoln Logs and would never let me play with them or his legos. My Dad's parents believed in gender specific toys but Mammaw just had the toys and crafts us to share, I don't know if it was easier or she just didn't believe in letting me be "girly" and them be "boys". So I got to play with my uncle/mom/aunt's Logstix, race cars in the living room and climb up on the little shed. The boys made pot holders on little looms, would stitch coasters or make ornaments with beads. It was always an adventure there!
I bought my niece and best friend's little girl the baby legos for their birthdays. All the girls love their building blocks, my oldest niece loves going to the hardware store!
